April 26th 1992 Lyrics - Sublime

I don't know if you can, but can you get an order for Ons, that's O-N-S, 

Junior Market, the address is 1934 East Anaheim, all the windows are 

Busted out, and it's like a free-for-all in here and uh the owner should 

At least come down here and see if he can secure his business- 

If he wants to 

April 26th, 1992 

There was a riot on the streets 

Tell me where were you? 

You were sittin' home watchin' your TV 

While I was participating in some anarchy 

First spot we hit it was my liquor store 

I finally got all that alcohol I can't afford 

With red lights flashin' time to retire 

And then we turned that liquor store into a structure fire. 

Next stop we hit it was the music shop 

It only took one brick to make that window drop 

Finally we got our own p.a. 

Where do you think I got this guitar that you're hearing today? ey! 

Call fire at the mobile station at Alamedas and Anahiem, 

Its, ah, flaming up good] 

10-4 Alamedas and Anahiem 

Homicide, never doin' no time! 

When we returned to the pad to unload everything 

It dawned on me that I need new home furnishings 

So once again we filled the van until it was full 

Since that day my livin' room's been more comfortable 

Cause everybody in the hood has had it up to here 

It's getting harder and harder and harder each and every year 

Some kids went in a store with their mother 

I saw her when she came out she was gettin some pampers 

They said it was for the black man, 

They said it was for the mexican 

And not for the white man 

But if you look at the streets 

It wasn't about Rodney King 

It's bout this fucked up situation and these fucked up police 

It's about coming up 

And staying on top 

And screamin' 187 on a mother fuckin' cop 

It's not written on the paper it's on the wall 

National guard! 

Smoke from all around! 

Units- Units be advised of an attempt 211 to arrest now at 938 Temple, 9-3-8 

Temple, many subjects with bats trying to get inside the CB's 

House, they're trying to kill him] 

As long as I'm alive, I'm a live el rico. 

Let it burn 

Wanna let it burn 

Wanna let it burn 

Wanna wanna let it burn 

Riots on the streets of Miami 

W'oh, Riots on the streets of Chicago 

On the streets of Long Beach 

And San Francisco (Boise Idaho) 

Riots on the streets of Kansas City (Salt Lake, Hunnington Beach, CA) 

Tuscalusa, Alabama ( Compton Michigan) 

Cleveland, Ohio (Pensacola) 

Fountain Valley (Texas, Barstow, let's do this every year), 

Paramount, Victorville (Twice a Year), Eugene OR 

Eureka, CA (Let it burn, let it burn) 

Hesperia (Oh, ya let it burn, wont'cha wont'cha let it burn) 

Santa Barbara, Nevada, Phoenix Arizona, San Diego, Lakewood Florida 

Fuckin 29 Palms.
