The Rugburns - Rioting lyrics

They're rioting in my front yard They're sending in the National Guard People lootin, people shootin, baby I ain't just tootin my horn They're rioting in my front yard They're grabbing all the beer and diapers And don't forget the windshield wipers Fifty pairs, who cares? Man we'll sell' em at the fair And yeah they're rioting in my front yard They're burning Manny, Moe, and Jack The Pep Boys got a broken back They're stealin' clothes and breaking toes Hey, did you see that broken nose? And man, they're rioting in my front yard The news you can't miss, no It looks like a hit show The choppers are taking to the air The walls are coming down And yeah they're burning up this town At least the ratings will be up this year (Burn baby, burn) Now Rodney King may not have been a saint But what they did to him could make you faint We hear the whip, we hear the crack, and just because his skin was black Now they're rioting in my front yard Now a man ain't got a reason to smile If he gets a beating without a trial Hey wouldn't you be pissed they said Gorillas in the Mist And now they're rioting in my front yard Half these people haven't got a clue They're stealing clothes and saying, "Rodney who?" They've got it all wrong, it seems we'll never get along And now they're rioting in my front yard Well man, they're rioting in my front yard Oh yeah, they're rioting in my front yard
