Riot Song - Pure Love

The boys set a fire out in the field

And they burned down the crops and their father’s yield

And the men stood speechless at the sight

And the boys stood staring right by their side

Some boys set a fire out on the hill

And the deadwood cotton is burning still

And the people stand and they all hold hands

They sing together

We will shake hands with the devil and fate

We’ll bow to the keeper of the gate

We will pray forgiveness for all that we’ve done

Realised then we could never have won

Some boys set a fire out in the trees

The wind turned the furnace and fired the leaves

The smoke was a warning, lost in a breeze

We all born with the same disease

Some boys set a fire out on the hill

And the deadwood cotton is burning still

And the people stand and they all hold hands

They sing together

We will shake hands with the devil and fate

We’ll bow to the keeper of the gate

We will pray forgiveness for all that we’ve done

Realised then we could never have won

There’s a riot on the streets of England

There’s a riot on the streets of England

There’s a riot on the streets of England

Tonight

Our lives will never be the same, we will never forget this day

The sins of our father turned us to this pyre

We set the mountain on fire

We will shake hands with the devil and fate

We’ll bow to the keeper of the gate

We will pray forgiveness for all that we’ve done

Realised then you should never have won

There’s a riot on the streets of England

There’s a riot on the streets of England

There’s a riot on the streets of England

Tonight

There’s a riot on the streets of England

There’s a riot on the streets of England

There’s a riot on the streets of England

Tonight
