Riot Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you feel so empty
So used up, so let down
If you feel so angry
So ripped off, so stepped on

[Pre-Chorus]
You're not the only one
Refusing to back down
You're not the only one
So get up

[Chorus]
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot

[Verse 2]
If you feel so filthy
So dirty, so fucked up
If you feel so walked on
So painful, so pissed off

[Pre-Chorus]
You're not the only one
Refusing to back down
You're not the only one
So get up
[Chorus]
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot

[Bridge]
If you feel so empty
So used up, so let down
If you feel so angry
Just get up
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot, yah

[Chorus]
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
