Do You Remember the Riots?
Do you remember the riots in Gothenburg
in the summer of two thousand and one
Boy, we sure had fun
I held your hand so proud
it was shaking from what I learned was doubt
in the warm summer sun
And I saw my face on a screen
they filmed us from a helicopter
The most frightened face I've seen
red in the face like a lobster
Do you remember the riots in Gothenburg
in the summer of two thousand and one
Boy, we sure had fun
Down the avenue
the black black crew
were throwing rocks at the cops stand
everyhing stopped
They started a bonfire
a couple of days prior
I wanted to do that too
burn down the avenue
And I saw my face on a screen
they filmed us from a helicopter
The most frightened face I've seen
red in the face like a lobster
And your hands slipped out of mine
I couldn't see no love in your eye
and I knew what I had to do
burn the avenue
And I'm not a political fighter
and I don't even have a cigarette lighter
But I wanna see that fire
I just wanna see that fire
I just wanted to see that fire
Burn down the avenue
Do you remember the riots in Gothenburg
in the summer of two thousand and one
Boy, we sure had fun
