Chip Shop Riot

[Intro]
C G F C
C G F C

[Verse 1]
Out by the chip shop door
You’re grinning like a stray
Boots all scuffed on the kerb
And your pint’s gone flat today
The back room’s packed with noise
And the night won’t play it straight
You laugh at broken glass
Like you’ve already won the hate

[Pre-Chorus]
So come on
Say it loud
We’re still here
We’re kicking out

[Chorus]
Kick it out, kick it out
Kick it out tonight
We don’t bow, we don’t fold
We just bite, bite, bite
Kick it out, kick it out
With our boots in line
C to G, then back again
We’re alive, alive

[Verse 2]
Council flats and chipped-up cups
Smoke stains on the wall
Your mate’s got two bad plans
And none of them are small
A busted van, a busted mic
A smile with too much teeth
We howl at Monday mornings
Like a joke we never need

[Pre-Chorus]
So come on
Raise your glass
We’re too loud
For second class

[Chorus]
Kick it out, kick it out
Kick it out tonight
We don’t bow, we don’t fold
We just bite, bite, bite
Kick it out, kick it out
With our boots in line
C to G, then back again
We’re alive, alive

[Bridge]
[Half-time]
One more shout
One more scar
One more night
Just as we are
No gold, no crown
No clean-cut pride
Just a ragged song
And a spark inside

[Final Chorus]
Kick it out, kick it out
Kick it out tonight
We don’t bow, we don’t fold
We just bite, bite, bite
Kick it out, kick it out
Hear the whole room rise
C to G, then back to C
We’re alive, alive
