Beach Boys - Student Demonstration Time Lyrics
Starting out with berkeley free speechAnd later on at peoples parkThe winds of change fanned into flamesStudent demonstrations sparkDown to isla vista where police felt so harassedThey called the special riot squad of the l. a. county sheriffWell theres a riot going onTheres a riot going onTheres a riot going onStudent demonstration timeThe violence spread down south to where jackson state brothersLearned not to say nasty things about southern policemens mothersNothing much was said about it and really next to nothing doneThe pen is mightier than the sword, but no match for a gunWell theres a riot going onTheres a riot going onWell theres a riot going oncause its student demonstration timeAmerica was stunned on may 4, 1970When rally turned to riot up at kent state universityThey said the students scared the guardThough the troops were battle dressedFour martyrs earned a new degreeThe bachelor of bulletsI know were all fed up with useless wars and racial strifeBut next time theres a riot, well, you best stay out of sightWell theres a riot going onTheres a riot going onWell theres a riot going onStudent demonstration timeStay away when theres a riot going onStudent demonstrationStay away when theres a riot going onStudent demonstrationStay away when theres a riot going onStudent demonstrationStay away when theres a riot going onIts student demonstrationStay away when theres a riot going onStudent demonstrationStay away when theres a riot going onStudent demonstrationStay away when theres a riot going onIts student demonstrationStay away when theres a riot going onStudent demonstration
