Song Lyrics

Whoa yeah
It was a night, LA burning bright
Oh what a night say yeah, come on
It makes my world stand still
Ahhh riot, rape, race and revolution, ahh yeah
Here come the fire and my world burn still
Yoww, say yeah

Well you can rock this land baby, yoww
Like a shock to the system
I feel good, well alright
Like a shock to the system
Say yeah, ain't it eerie?

It was a night
Hell of a night LA, it really was
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
(Chorus) [2x]
Yeah, well you can rock this land baby
Like a shock, shock to the system
I feel good, well alright
Like a shock to the system
I say yeah, ain't it eerie?
Shock to the system
I feel good, well alright
Like a shock to the system
I say yeah
