Summer of '81 Songtext
von Violators

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

There′s blood on the street and the smell is so sweet
'Cause another blue bastard has just gone down
See the boots swarming ′round his head
They're gonna see him dead

Nightstick in hand, he tried to rule this land
But that's no way to make a country great
It takes more, more than force
You′ve got to give it a voice


So it′s goodbye to one more fascist clown
We've got a riot
You can′t keep us quiet
We've got a riot, we′ve got a riot
This is our answer to your law

Don't shed no tears for him
His life was lived in sin
No one has the right to order you
Don′t be told what life is about

So it's goodbye to one more fascist clown
We've got a riot
You can′t keep us quiet
We′ve got a riot, we've got a riot
This is our answer to your law


Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Brixton: riot, riot
Toxteth: riot, riot
Bristol: riot, riot
Moss Side: riot, riot
England: riot, riot
England: riot, riot, riot, riot
Riot, riot, riot, riot, riot, riot, riot, riot
Riot, riot, riot, riot, riot, riot, riot, riot
Riot, riot, riot, riot, riot, riot

There′s blood on the street and the smell is so sweet
'Cause another blue bastard has just gone down
Unh
