[Intro]

[Verse]
Sirens wail, a constant hum
Another headline, world gone numb
Empty pockets, futures sold
Stories whispered, brave and bold
We learned to run, we learned to fight
Beneath the glare of neon light
They built the walls, they spread the lies
But saw the fire in our eyes

[Chorus]
We are the children of the riot!
Screaming out with all our might!
Through the tear gas, through the rain
We rise again, we rise again!
Broken futures, shattered dreams
United by these desperate screams!
We are the children of the riot!
Fighting on, we will not quiet!

[Verse]
Austerity's a bitter pill
Watched the factories standin' still
Propaganda fills the air
A poisoned truth beyond compare
We saw the war on distant screens
Ignoring all our youthful means
They tried to break us, make us weak
But heard the passion when we speak

[Chorus]
We are the children of the riot!
Screaming out with all our might!
Through the tear gas, through the rain
We rise again, we rise again!
Broken futures, shattered dreams
United by these desperate screams!
We are the children of the riot!
Fighting on, we will not quiet!

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
They think they've won!
They think we're done!
But look around!
We're on solid ground!

[Verse]
We found our strength in every face
In every shared and stolen space
In every chant, in every band
Together, taking back this land!
They can't erase what we have found
Our spirit's strong, it will resound!
This generation, wild and free
Will forge a new reality!

[Chorus]
We are the children of the riot!
Screaming out with all our might!
Through the tear gas, through the rain
We rise again, we rise again!
Broken futures, shattered dreams
United by these desperate screams!
We are the children of the riot!
Fighting on, we will not quiet!

[Outro]
