Let the television burn babe
There's a riot in the street
They say the wolf was at the front door
He was lying at their feet
We felt a change, a change
But ain't it a shame how it all turned out
It was a long time coming
It's a little late now

They're gonna stack up the dead till they block out the sun
These white boys with money make the whole world run
Let the wall hit your back
The blood hit your tongue
You and me baby we're the dangerous ones
You and me baby we're the dangerous ones

Hey there's a word for last winter
It's something worse than discontent
37 years old and staying out of trouble
Ain't to make my rent
So let it burn, let it burn, let the motherfucker burn
It's Election Day
They shut the water off last week
I guess it's gonna burn either way

They're shipping bodies back down with the cocaine and guns
These white boys with money make the whole world run
Let the wall hit your back
The blood hit your tongue
Cause you and me brother we're the dangerous ones
You and me brother we're the dangerous ones

You can curse
You can cry
You can scream yourself to sleep every night
You can open up your eyes
Take a look outside

Where every wall is gonna crumble
Every tower's gonna fall
Theatres gonna rumble
And siren's gonna call

So you better look alive alive
Read the black not the white
Forget the reds and blues
We're looking for a way out
Start looking for a way through

Well a shot's been fired but the war ain't won
These white boys with money make the whole world run
Let the wall hit your back
The blood hit your tongue
You and me baby we're the dangerous ones
You and me baby we're the dangerous ones
