The Riot’s Gone Songtext
von Santigold

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

Oh, I′m only dangerous
At the whim of my command
I've been searching for an angle
For a cause I can't defend

Oh, take me on, let me go all day
Just beat it ′til I know
′Til I, 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
Waiting for the day I'm able
And I set it on its way

Oh, take me on, let me go all day
Just beat it ′til I know
′Til I, I know that the riot's gone
The riot′s gone away

Turn it on, turn it on, now blow for blow
I wanna make up now
For all the things I swallow that I can't control
Get it out, get it out, where does it go?
So, one day we wake up
Someone we wish to God we could say we don′t know

Oh, take me on, let me go all day
Just beat it 'til I know
′Til I, I know that the riot's gone
The riot's gone away

Hey, I heard it for a moment now, hey
I hear it coming in, be quiet
Hey, I heard it for a moment now
The riot′s gone, the riot′s gone
