Kaiser Chiefs - I Predict A Riot Lyrics






Watching the people get lairy
It's not very pretty I tell thee
Walking through town is quite scary
It's not very sensible either
A friend of a friend he got beaten
He looked the wrong way at a policeman
Would never have happened to Smeaton
An Old Leodensian

La la la...

I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot

I tried to get to my taxi
The man in a tracksuit attacks me
He said that he saw it before me
And wants to get things a bit gory
Girls scrabble round with no clothes on
To borrow a pound for a condom
If it wasn't for chip fat they'd be frozen
They're not very sensible

La la la...

I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot

And if there's anybody left in here
That doesn't want to be out there

Watching the people get lairy
It's not very pretty I tell thee
Walking through town is quite scary
It's not very sensible

La la la...

I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot

And if there's anybody left in here
That doesn't want to be out there

I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot

  1. j.... r....

    2020 viva méxico cabrones!

  2. W.... T....

    When I was in my 20’s and I thought most music was shit. Then suddenly... thanks to Underground Garage on Sirius radio.

  3. J.... O....

    thought the lyrics were "I'm ready to riot" for the last 15 years

  4. m.... ....

    I put it to rest.

  5. S.... J....

    I was 9 when I first heard this I'm now 19. I feel old.

  6. N.... ....

    Cough cough only here cause of I Mahatma I’s first pk vid cough cough.... like if you are too.

  7. L.... B....

    I’ve been singing this song for the past week, and my adult kids remember it too!!

  8. L.... B....

    What ever happened to all the good music??? Music these days sucks. Miss these days

  9. B.... C....

    Runescape ftw.

  10. l.... ....

    I honestly thought at some point the guy was singing : I’ve got the Tourette’s

  11. N.... ....

    Anyone listening in 2020? Because I am

  12. 3.... ....

    This song is addictive, I love how the tempo changes, then back to spooky music.

  13. L.... ....

    Sounds so much like early XTC

  14. D.... C....

    Peanut is my cousin

  15. d.... ....

    Here from the GT4 :)

  16. M.... ....

    Allies standing around at BRM around 19 on a wednesday: "I predict a raid!"

  17. L.... ....

    Leeds Leeds Leeds

  18. B.... ....

    I need more of the one part and less of the other part.

  19. M.... Z....

    Gran Turismo 4!

  20. S.... S....

    this is so fucking relevant now, especially if i look at Italy! i can't even imagine if there will be any elections how it will be

  21. m.... ....

    Yes, the PS4 commercial brought me here. That chorus of “I Predict a Riot” is incredible! It has all the urgency of 1977 punk rock. But the rest of the song, while not bad, isn’t IMHO necessarily good either. It’s just average. And that sucks! I’m 57 and a huge fan of music and know punk rock from the early era like few others. I truly believe and know great music is being made today. I’m just disappointed that only part of this song is great ... IMHO.
    But that makes me wonder why that is? I truly believe it is because in 77, those musicians were either going to make it or end up in dead end jobs like their parents. The need to succeed was very real. But maybe not so much with these guys. I dunno, I could be nowhere close to the real reason, but maybe not.
    Anyway, nuff said, I am out!
    EDIT: I just realized why the verse parts of this song, although good, do not wow me. It’s because to me the verse sounds just like The Killers to me. And I do like ... one song for sure by The Killers, the fact that these guys sound like them to me is enough for me to truly wish they could come up with something that sounds completely original. It’s a difficult request, but shit, if you want your music remembered 30 years from now, that’s what you need to do.
    Nuff said ...

  22. m.... ....

    I know these guys but never heard this song b4. PlayStation commercial brought me here but it BLOWS ME AWAY how they made this song a three way baby between themselves, the dead Kennedy’s and the clash... 👍👍

  23. L.... s....

    Damn playstation commercial

  24. G.... P....

    Is it just me or does the singer seem to channel Phil Lynott during the chorus?

  25. A.... A....

    I wonder if they copyrighted from Pink Panther 🤔

  26. D.... C....

    Never gets old!

  49. G.... P....

    Se que no tiene nada que ver pero relaciono está banda con los jefes de Kansas city, supongo que por las iniciales de llamarse Kaiser Chiefs y para colmo son los jefes Chiefs de Kansas city, sería irónico que está banda sea de Kansas, alguien dígame de dónde son

  50. C.... G....

    I’ve been looking for this song since 7th grade (I’m 27)!!! And thanks to the play station 4 commercial I no longer feel like I made this song up in my head.

    General election am I right lads

  52. d.... ....

    What about the song; do you like it; Or you just want to feel connected with others;

  53. W.... E....

    When I saw that PS4 commercial I first thought it may have been a Thin Lizzy song I never heard. That chorus is killer. He sounds like Phil Lynott during it.

    W.... E....

    I thought it was the Ramones.

  54. R.... A....

    Playstation brought me here

  55. k.... ....

  63. H.... D....

    Back in Uni days...2004. Tony Blair's war mongering was still fresh and lots of Uni students were joining the Anti-War society. It's a shame Blair destroyed The Labour Party and its legacy. Students were all so hyped about politics.

  64. M.... S....

    Gran Turismo 4 will always be the GOAT

  65. L.... B....

    My childhood

  66. K.... J....

    I had the CD when it came out. Ah good times.
    Sounds a lot like The Jam. Do yourself a favour and check em out if you haven't heard them.

    K.... J....

    Oh my, flashbacks, tuve el honor de estrenar está canción, cuando trabajé en la radio, no tenía idea de que pronto la música se iría a la mierda y de que estuve en presencia de grandes bandas, grandes temas, muchos ya clásicos...

  77. D.... ....

    Said it before but it bears repeating, this is what the Beatles would sound like if they didn't break up

  78. D.... B....

    Just thought of this song. 2019 here what’s up

    ALAW 💙💛💙💛

  84. r.... w....

    Cop pulls you over....,” I plead Tourette’s.. I plead Tourette’s “.

    r.... w....

    It's Tourette. Using the possessive form is incorrect as the condition was named after Dr Tourette, the first to report it. He didn't have the condition himself.
