The Riots Gone Lyrics

Lyric discussion by hardcorevelour 

Cover art for The Riots Gone lyrics by Santigold

I've been looking for a fight All the trouble that I know Trying to loose the world inside But it's got no place to go

Oh, I'm armed and dangerous [sounds a lot like "only" but "armed 'n' dangerous" makes much more sense] At the whim of my command I've been searching for an angle For a cause I can defend

Oh take me home Let me go all day Just be here 'til I know 'Til I know that the riot's gone, the riot's gone away

I've been haunted all my life On the brink of something close People know that I ain't right Know I'm grappling with a ghost

Oh, I'm armed and dangerous And I'm deafened by the fray [definitely "fray"] Waiting for the day I'm able And I set it on its way

Oh take me home Let me go all day Just be here 'til I know 'Til I know that the riot's gone, the riot's gone away

[This whole end of the song isn't in the current lyrics, for some reason?]

Turn it up, turn it up, gonna get fucked up I wanna make up, now For all the things I saw that I can't control Cut it out, cut it out, when it doesn't go So, one day we wake up So when we wish to go, we can zip and go now [or maybe "zip up and go"]

Oh take me home Let me go all day Just be here 'til I know 'Til I know that the riot's gone, the riot's gone away

Hey, I heard it for a moment now Hey, I hear you comin', at me quiet [though it really sounds like "and be quiet"] Hey, I heard it for a moment now The riot's gone, the riot's gone
