Protest Or Riot

Ok, I didn't want to do this but there's rules that you must know Etiquette to be followed A line that you must toe Listen very closely now I think you all should try it The things that you will now learn About a protest and a riot Firstly, have a purpose Just random shouting, that's persay If you do not have a topic Then all the new folks go away Throwing bricks at coppers Breaking windows on the street Is this a sign of protest Or is it idiots in heat No signage, and no speakers Just random yelling for a cause This isn't a good protest Just breaking random laws A protest has a purpose It presents a point of view A riot is an ugly thing Which one is right for you MLK could run a protest Make a point and get things done All without a mob forcing A cop to use his gun The rules really are simple Keep the young ones all at home For people in glass houses Should really not throw stones A peaceful resolution From a protest is the goal But a riot is just aimless It puts the city in a hole Victims of a riot Are not the ones who are to blame They're just owners of the business' Who get caught up in the game Next time that you protest Protest rioting instead It will turn out for the better And nobody will end up dead
