Song Lyrics

Whoa yeah
It was a night, L.A., burning bright
Oh what a night
Say yeah,come on
It makes my world stand still
Riot, rape, race and revolution, ah yeah
Here come the fire, and my world burns still
You say yeah

Well, you can rock this land baby you

Like a shock to the system
I feel good, well alright
Like a shock to the system
Say yeah, ain't it irie

It was a night
Hell of a night, L.A., it really was
Oh what a riot
I said yeah, come on
It makes my life feel real
Fear police and civil corruption oh yeah
Is there a man who would be king
And the world stood still
Ah yeah loud

You can rock this land baby
Yeah

Like a shock to the system
It feel good, well alright
Like a shock to the system
I said yeah, come on baby
Shock to the system
Feel good, well alright
Like a shock, shock to the system
I say yeah, I say yeah, I say yeah
Come on baby

Yeah, well you can rock this land baby
Like a shock, shock to the system
It feel good, well alright
Like a shock to the system
I say yeah
Ain't it irie

Shock to the system
It feel good, well alright
Like a shock to the system
I say yeah
I say yeah
I say yeah, come on baby

[Repeat: x3]
Shock to the, shock to the
Shock to the system
Loud I gotta

Shock to the, shock to the
Shock to the system
You could be king

Or I could be king
Yeah well
You could be king
Or I could be king
Well I gotta
You could be king
Say it louder
The world still burns
You could be king
I could be king
Yeah well
You could be king
Say it louder
I could be king
You could be king
Say it louder
The world still burns
