About the song
It's a statement against the depths people sink to for personal gain while blaming their actions on social injustices.The first 2 verses were inspired by Cincinatti riots. The last verse is dedicated to Darryl Worley and the countless others that have jumped on the bandwagon of writing an obligatory 9/11 song in order to make a buck. Sorry country fans, I call 'em like I see 'em.
Lyrics
Someone was wronged today. Another kid got blown away. Let's just blame it all on race - it's a good excuse to pillage and rape.

The thin blue line's coming down on me, but through the tear gas they can't see, and what they can't see - they can't get, so I think I'll steal me a TV set.

'Cause I'm a have not baby, I'm a have not baby - and I wanna be a have. Let's have a riot! We'll burn our own damn houses down! Let's have a riot! We'll kick the cops right out of town.

The world waits for another tragedy so we can write songs about the suffering and cash in on the flag while there's money to make. There's a lot of unknowns who need a big break.
