Skrewdriver - Retaliate Lyrics

The petrol bombs are flying, the people lock their doors

We've got to make a choice now, in the middle of a war

The enemy is taking over out on the streets

And we are not united, and so we face defeat

-

(chorus)

Retaliate, will be our only hope

Retaliate, can we ever cope

Retaliate, face them on the streets

Retaliate, fight against defeat

-

As a young man lies dying, the mob begins to cheer

Older people tremble, they have never known such fear

The enemy's taking over out on the streets

And we are not unite, and so we face defeat

-

Mr. Politician, I won't say I told you so

But now the flames are rising, do you want to know?

You're blaming unemployment and the racists on the beat

I don't see our unemployed looting on the street
