Inner City life
is getting me down
Poliece and gang wars
all over town
Closing donw our clubs
take away our freedoms
Hassle us on the street
for no good reason

Oh oh we want a riot
Oh oh don't even try it

Here come the riot squad
they're closing in
guns and riot shields
and gas granades
see them standing there
in a row
now they're running
We gotta go

Sing with the song of Uk Subs, Riot lyrics!


Oh oh we want a riot
Oh oh we get no peace & quiet

They got a justice bill
that's what they say
They have the power now
to put you away
Now there were 4 of us
minding our own
We're a riotous assembly
Walking down the road

Oh oh we want a riot
Oh oh we get no peace & quiet
Oh oh we wanna riot
Oh oh leave us alone!

Artist Information

Profile:

The UK Subs were another group that emerged from the scene at The Roxy in London in 1977. Founder and Lead Vocalist Charlie Harper was playing in R&B and pub rock groups before being influenced by bands like The Damned to turn to punk. The band was based around Harper's growling Cockney vocals with Nicky Garratt on Guitar, Paul Slack on Bass and a variety of drummers. Although adopting punk stylings, the bands work was still heavily influenced by R&B, albeit played fast. Their sound was most similar to Sham 69 or The Angelic Upstarts, although without the skinhead following Whilst never having a big hit, several singles made the lower reaches of the Top 30 in the late 70s, including "Stranglehold", "Tomorrow's Girls", a cover of The Zombies classic "She's Not There" and "Warhead". The first two studio LPs "Another Kind of Blues" and "Brand New Age" also made the lower reaches of the album charts. The band split in 1983, but has since reformed and continues to gig intensively
