Student Demonstration Time

The Beach Boys

Transposer:

[Intro] Starting out with Berkeley Free Speech And later on at People’s Park The winds of change fanned into flames Student demonstrations spark Down to Isla Vista where police felt so harassed They called the special riot squad of the L. A. County Sheriff Well there’s a riot going on There’s a riot going on There’s a riot going on Student demonstration time The violence spread down South to where Jackson State brothers Learned not to say nasty things about Southern policemen’s mothers Nothing much was said about it and really next to nothing done The pen is mightier than the sword but no match for a gun Well there’s a riot going on There’s a riot going on Well there’s a riot going on Cause it’s student demonstration time [Break] America was stunned on May 4 1970 When rally turned to riot up at Kent State University They said the students scared the Guard Though the troops were battle dressed Four martyrs earned a new degree The Bachelor of Bullets I know we’re all fed up with useless wars and racial strife But next time there’s a riot well you best stay out of sight Well there’s a riot going on There’s a riot going on Well there’s a riot going on Student demonstration time Stay away when there’s a riot going on Student demonstration Stay away when there’s a riot going on Student demonstration Stay away when there’s a riot going on Student demonstration Stay away when there’s a riot going on It’s student demonstration Stay away when there’s a riot going on Student demonstration Stay away when there’s a riot going on Student demonstration Stay away when there’s a riot going on It’s student demonstration Stay away when there’s a riot going on Student demonstration

La chanson évoque le climat de tensions et de révoltes étudiantes dans les années 60 et 70 aux États-Unis. Elle décrit comment des manifestations pour la liberté d'expression et contre les violences policières ont rapidement débouché sur des émeutes, notamment à Berkeley et à Kent State, où des étudiants ont perdu la vie. Les paroles soulignent la montée des conflits entre les jeunes et les forces de l'ordre, ainsi que les conséquences tragiques de cette lutte pour les droits civiques. Le contexte est celui d'une époque marquée par des luttes sociales intenses, avec des étudiants qui s'opposent à la guerre du Vietnam, au racisme et à la répression. Le message de la chanson rappelle les dangers d’une société en conflit et met en lumière les sacrifices tragiques subis par ces jeunes militants. C'est un reflet des luttes qui ont façonné la conscience politique de l'époque.
