It's summertime and the country's on the line

The lads are on the streets and the riots doing fine

Picking up the pieces after the night

Picking up the pieces for another fight

The bricks beat down in the boys in blue

There's no escape, they're coming for you

The clubs come down 'round your head

It's war on the streets and they're running red!



Police are running facing defeat

Cities burning in the summerheat

Police are running facing defeat

Cities burning in the summerheat



The law can't stop the anger of the crowds

They're still coming through tear-gas clouds

Police are running, facing defeat

Tears are falling in the summerheat



The bricks beat down in the boys in blue

There's no escape, they're coming for you

The clubs come down 'round your head

It's war on the streets and they're running red!
