Lyrics of Summer of '81 by The Violators
intro
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
intro
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
verse
There's blood on the street and the smell is so sweet
'Cause another blue bastard has just gone down
See the boots swarming 'round his head
They're gonna see him dead
verse
Nightstick in hand, he tried to rule this land
But that's no way to make a country great
It takes more, more than force
You've got to give it a voice
chorus
So it's goodbye to one more fascist clown
We've got a riot
You can't keep us quiet
We've got a riot, we've got a riot
This is our answer to your law
verse
Don't shed no tears for him
His life was lived in sin
No one has the right to order you
Don't be told what life is about
chorus
So it's goodbye to one more fascist clown
We've got a riot
You can't keep us quiet
We've got a riot, we've got a riot
This is our answer to your law
bridge
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Brixton: riot, riot
Toxteth: riot, riot
Bristol: riot, riot
Moss Side: riot, riot
England: riot, riot
England: riot, riot, riot, riot
Riot, riot, riot, riot, riot, riot, riot, riot
Riot, riot, riot, riot, riot, riot, riot, riot
Riot, riot, riot, riot, riot, riot
outro
There's blood on the street and the smell is so sweet
'Cause another blue bastard has just gone down
Unh
