Hey it's 1984,
With a glimpse of what's in store,
It looks like things are up to us,
No talk, just action in the streets,
That's what it's gonna take,
No calm youth in the U.S.A.
(Chorus)
It's summertime, American riot!
I can't complain, unless I try it!
The heat is here, a teenage warning!
To those who fear, here's your warning!
This could be the year
That we could make some people think,
With smarter minds we'll hit the streets,
United we must make our stand,
Divided we will fall,
But it's up to us to take that step
(Repeat Chorus)
Complacent kids, that's all they want,
But if they want trouble they'll get it!
Amidst years of youth unrest
And now someone is pissed, right!
(Repeat Chorus)
