Down to Isla Vista where police felt so harassed
I know we're all fed up with useless wars and racial strife
Learned not to say nasty things about Southern policemen's mothers

Student demonstration time
Student demonstration time
Student demonstration

Nothing much was said about it and really next to nothing done

Well there's a riot going on
