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

Everything 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
