Verse

IB'd go down to the Strip tonight

I'm not on a stay-home trip tonight

Long hair seems to be the main attraction

But the heat is causing all the action

EBven theD♯m parA♯ents aG♯re beginning to sF♯tare

Post-chorus:

B [continue with intro riff]

Because of the sirens on our streets

They used to be neat

But now it's just a place for black and white cars to race

It's causin' a riot

It's causin' a riot, yeah

[guitar solo over intro riff, 8X]

[repeat pre-chorus]

[repeat chorus]

[repeat post-chorus]

Coda [ranted over intro riff]:

It's causin' a riot

It's causin' a riot, everywhere

People runnin' around, riots everywhere

Pushin', pushin', pushin' everywhere [fade]
