Woah yeah
It was a night
Oh what a night
L.A. burning bright
Oh what a night

Say yeah, come on
It makes my world stand still
Oh riot, rape, race and revolution, oh yeah
Here come the fire, and my world burns still

I say, "Yeah"
Well, you can rock this land baby

Like a shock to the system
I feel good, well alright
Like a shock to the system
I say, "Yeah, ain't it irie?"

It was a night
Hell of a night
L.A. it really was, oh what a riot
I said, "Yeah, come on"
It makes my life feel real

Oh fear police and civil corruption, oh yeah
Is there a man who would be king?
And the world stood still

Oh yeah loud
You can rock this land baby
Yeah

Like a shock to the system
It feel good, well alright
It's like a shock to the system
I said, "Yeah, come on baby"

Shock to the system
Feel good, well alright
Like a shock to the system
I say, "Yeah", I say, "Yeah", I say, "Yeah"
Come on baby

Yeah!
Well you can rock this land baby

Like a shock to the system
It feel good, well alright
It like a shock to the system
I say, "Yeah ain't it irie?"

Shock to the system
It feel good, well alright
Like a shock to the system
I say, "Yeah", I say, "Yeah", I say, "Yeah"
Come on baby

Shock to the, shock to the
Shock to the system
Loud I gotta

Shock to the, shock to the
Shock to the system
Yeah I gotta

Shock to the, shock to the
Shock to the system
Yeah I gotta

Shock to the, shock to the
Shock to the system
Yeah I gotta

You could be king
Or I could be king
Yeah well

You could be king
Or I could be king
Well I gotta

You could be king
Rock this system
Say it louder

The world still burns
