Rancid - Brixton

I saw - a new generationcoming.
Under - the smoke over Oakland.
In and out - the streets are breathing.
Under - the smoke over Oakland.

Chaos disorder looting and loiter.
From a blind man praying for some silence - for some silence.
Take a loot on the moon not a foot in the room.
My best intentions always ended in a fight - in a fight.
You can send me to hell expose me I'll tell.
Just take control and say what they're doing - what they're doing.
Two-fifty dead the tribune read Oakland's going off like a bomb!

I saw - a new generation coming.
Under - the smoke over Oakland.
In and out - the streets are breathing.
Under - the smoke over Oakland.

Armageddon is coming so yea you better start running.
Cause the big wave is coming to the shore - to the shore.
No surprise that you see thru the lies.
of a system rotten to the core - to the core.
High tech surveilence paranoia and violence.
Keeping the city at a calm - at a calm.
Two-fifty dead the tribune read Oakland's going off like a bomb!

I saw - a new generation coming.
Under - the smoke over Oakland.
In and out - the streets are breathing.
Under - the smoke over Oakland.

Man it just don't seem right.
You see every time I turn I around it's just the same story and it's like.
It just don't seem right and I wonder is it gonna end?Hit it!
Knocking down the doors slogans on the walls.
One said fight back yea the system will fall.
The police came out with tear gas and flames.
Chaos in the city beating them at the game.
Don't pay the poll tax the headlines read.
Thirty cops beaten another one dead.
The fight lasted on through the Brixton night.
A thousand angry looters who knew they were right.

I saw - a new generation coming.
Under - the smoke over Oakland.
In and out - the streets are breathing.
Under - the smoke over Oakland.

I saw - a new generation coming.
Under - the smoke over Oakland.
In and out - the streets are breathing.
