Riot Girl
I fell in love with a riot girl
When the protest marches came to town
While I was waving a rainbow flag
She was throwing bottles and stones
I tried to talk her out of using force
I said: "Girl, you gotta cut them some slack
'Cause underneath that riot gear
There's a human body and soul"
I fell in love with a beautiful riot girl
It's not easy to remember her face
She had it wrapped in disguise
All except her beautiful eyes
But then they came and arrested her
I went to visit her in jail
Hired the toughest lawyer in town
And took her home after paying her bail
Back home we had a lot of deep talk
Revolution versus gradual change
It takes a war to make a pacifist
And after weeks and weeks she agreed
I fell in love with a beautiful riot girl
Now it's easy to remember her face
Once she lifted her disguise
It made way for her beautiful eyes
And when the day of her trial came
I walked her down to the court
I took a seat in the back row
And listened to the charges being read
She pleaded guilty to all of them
To assault as well as breach of the peace
And in return for her honest remorse
The judge was very lenient
I fell in love with a beautiful riot girl
Now it's easy to remember her face
Once she lifted her disguise
It made way for her beautiful eyes
When the protest marches came to town
While I was waving a rainbow flag
She was throwing bottles and stones
I tried to talk her out of using force
I said: "Girl, you gotta cut them some slack
'Cause underneath that riot gear
There's a human body and soul"
I fell in love with a beautiful riot girl
It's not easy to remember her face
She had it wrapped in disguise
All except her beautiful eyes
But then they came and arrested her
I went to visit her in jail
Hired the toughest lawyer in town
And took her home after paying her bail
Back home we had a lot of deep talk
Revolution versus gradual change
It takes a war to make a pacifist
And after weeks and weeks she agreed
I fell in love with a beautiful riot girl
Now it's easy to remember her face
Once she lifted her disguise
It made way for her beautiful eyes
And when the day of her trial came
I walked her down to the court
I took a seat in the back row
And listened to the charges being read
She pleaded guilty to all of them
To assault as well as breach of the peace
And in return for her honest remorse
The judge was very lenient
I fell in love with a beautiful riot girl
Now it's easy to remember her face
Once she lifted her disguise
It made way for her beautiful eyes
