Other than the obvious I predict a riot what riot songs are there?
This is a bit of classic 80s satire - buring looting shooting!

This town, is coming like a ghost town
Why must the youth fight against themselves?
Government leaving the youth on the shelf
This place, is coming like a ghost town
No job to be found in this country
Can't go on no more
The people getting angry

Only for the opening lyrics:

I wanna run
I want to hide
I wanna tear down the walls
That hold me inside
I wanna reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name
Ha...ha...ha...

^Both from Machine Head's 'Burn My Eyes' - recorded a year or two after the LA Riots, a couple of their songs make reference to them.

Could be you're not using that little button just above where you're typing that says "Video"? Just a thought.

Being in peaceful Wales at the time of the riots, I missed this. Makes a great playlist! (apart, of course from the woeful Limp Bizkit)

So, a bit late, but here's a few more!

Don't know about songs, but I did wonder if the gangstas take over and oust the government would we have moved from democracy to Hip-hopcracy??
