The Riot Song Lyrics

[Intro]
Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls
Welcome to Johnny's World
Full of drugs and promiscuous girls

[Verse 1]
Oh, she runs away from the summer
And the day that she's going to return
Is none of my concern, cause we
Run away from the waterfall
No stranger to wonderful
These are the things I want to know

[Chorus]
She stays quiet
She stays quiet and calm
When there's a riot
But there's a riot going on
There's a riot going on
Listen baby
She stays quiet
She stays quiet and calm
When there's a riot
But there's a riot going on
There's a riot going on
Outside her window

[Post-Chorus]
Look, tell me what you see
Is it you and me?
Is it you and me?
Probably

[Verse 2]
People, people are the root of all evil
Ain't much you can do but to believe it more and more, everyday
Even though we found a way to love
We swear it's all because
Because of what? Because of us

[Chorus]
She stays quiet
She stays quiet and calm
When there's a riot
When there's a riot going on
There's a riot going on
Listen baby
She stays quiet
She stays quiet and calm
When there's a riot
When there's a riot going on
A riot going on
Outside her window

[Post-Chorus]
Look, tell me what you see
Is it you and me?
Is it you and me?
Probably not

[Verse 3]
I had to pause and react to it
She don't know the half of it
I wonder if it matters if she know it's all an accident
But she's a passivist and
She won't give me the time of day
She's always just been that way
That's the reason why I just stay
Calm and collected
I hope you all accept it
Music is my message
I'll use it as a weapon
They say "The pen is mightier than the sword"
Depending on what type of love you're in
You're in more trouble than before

[Chorus]
She stays quiet
She stays quiet and calm
When there's a riot
But there's a riot going on
But there's a riot going on
Listen baby
She stays quiet
She stays quiet and calm
When there's a riot
But there's a riot going on
A riot going on
Outside her window
