Do you remember the riots in Gothenburg

In the summer of 2001?

Boy, we sure had fun!



I held your hand so proud

It was shaking from what I learned was doubt

The warm summer sun



And I saw my face on a screen

They filmed us from a helicopter

The most frightened face I've seen

Red in the face like a lobster



Do you remember the riots in Gothenburg

In the summer of 2001?

Boy, we sure had fun!



Down the avenue

Black, black crew are throwing rocks

At the cop stand then everything stop



They started a bonfire

A couple of days prior 

I wanted to do that too

Burn down the avenue



And I saw my face on a screen

They filmed us from a helicopter

The most frightened face I've seen

Red in the face like a lobster



Your hand slipped out of mine

I couldn't see no love in your eyes

I knew what I had to do

Burn the avenue



I'm not a political fighter

And I don't even have a cigarette lighter

But I wanna see that fire

I just wanna see that fire

I just wanted to see that fire



Burn down the avenue



Do you remember the riots in Gothenburg

In the summer of two thousand and one?

Boy, we sure had fun!
