When It’s Cold, Dread Not the Riot

 

This frame  may be coloured with the white of snow

The innocent white that is pure and light

When the invisible officers points people indoors

And those that are out must have something to do

It is like a curfew, a curfew that can be bribed

Whether you are in or whether you are out

All they want is to disarm you, this fireless soldier

Whether you are in or whether you are out

Don’t fear to riot, don’t fear my friend

 

When nature seems to be at ease and the greatest threat are the whistling shots

Don’t say “it’s just music”, it can lure you into a flu, the force of its rhythm

If need be, riot

Lest you become a victim of a cold war

 

Throw up a fire

It may be blue, yellow or red, who cares

It may stain the white of snow, don’t fear

Splash the brown sash across the green lines

Even the forest will have its time

 

When it is cold

And the answer isn’t easy as white and black

Then let the colours riot

The colours we have picked overtime
