Music's the New Riot Lyrics

i met a man in poverty
he didn't seem to know where he was
said not to let it bother me
it's all just because
he must've missed the bus

the right to take his property
he doesn't know of any wrong he does
never has time to stop or see
this is not for us

it's in the air
the perfume of a blindfolded woman free falling from the bridge of mrs. liberty's nose
quick grip her knees, oh don't drop her please

in twenty years of probably
we thought monopoly was just a game
don't like to play it properly
if it's a game to fix
feelings in your hand as you clench your fists (i'd like to open up)

a knot on my back so tight together i tie it
when everyone in the rooms listening, everything gets so quiet
as violence, bag pipes and violins silence in this riot

it's all in a robbery
a crisis of high prices on weapons
it's all they offer me
we've all kept on getting taken as nothing and stept on
feeling nothing but enough of me

a knot on my back so tight together i tie it
when everyone in the rooms listening, everything gets so quiet
as violence, bag pipes and violins silence in this riot

we've heard it all before (2x)
