Riot Coming - Elliott Smith

It’s to reveal that fucked up cop

Amped up on prescription pills

That brought my heart to a stop

And i want to tell you there’s a riot coming

Like a drug in the water

A punch in the stomach makes sons into daughters

I met a girl on the square

Who showed me how to kill my cares

But once that’s done, man, there’s nothing to do Time’s running backwards from me and you

There’s a riot coming

Like a drug in the water

A punch in the stomach makes sons into daughters

My body’s running but i don’t see why it bothers

Sat down in jail with this friend of mine

Who’d never close both his eyes

But one was shut all the time

To cover the thing he was scared of While he watched with the other

There was a riot coming

Like a drug in the water

A punch in the stomach makes sons into daughters

There’s a riot coming

There’s a riot coming

There’s a riot coming
