I met you at the barricade 
 It's fever pitch where the crowd had gathered 
 You said the bow is breaking 
 You want to get some coffee or something 
 Float by the crowd that scatters 
 I found my people and nothing else matters 
 Bullhorns that feed back in stormy skies 
 No one listens but it's so hot when you try 
 You've got a taste for danger 
 And it turns you on 
 Just take a look in your face 
 I know what's going on 
 You got a taste for danger 
 Tiptoe through the riot 
 Vandals laced and braced for action 
 No sense, no consequence 
 You're a green stick fracture 
 Bounce back at you 
 [Chorus]
 Beggars stare at the brand new sneakers on the 
 Anarchists and celebrity speakers 
 These are improbable days my friends 
 Tomorrow's mundane 
 All good things must end 
 And the cops told the crowd they must disperse 
 Your pretty eyes fall as the tear gas burst 
 Here come the horses and we move along 
 Promise I'll see you but the moment is gone 
 You're shocked when the spray can splatters 
 Deliver us from the chumps and suckers 
 You and me killing time in the present tense 
 Bound together by someone to fight against 
 [Chorus]
 I used to be a dissident citizen
