lyrics

'Twas back in 1980 when the shrimpers came ashore,
Rode into our town for realities of war.
Discharge were performing punks they came from all around,
The air it was electric as the clock struck nine.
But Discharge didn't make it, the gig had been postponed,
Disappointment turned to anger as the watered beer flowed.
Many tales are told about what occurred that night,
But one things not in doubt it was the warehouse riot.

(chorus)
'Twas my first taste of anarchy,
Punks were all a panicky,
If you were there you won't forget the warehouse riot.
'Twas my first taste of anarchy,
Punks were all a panicky,
It went down in history as the warehouse riot.

Fireman he was dancing and he held aloft a keg,
Studded belts were swinging around about our heads.
Dodging flying debris I made it to the stairs,
I looked back and saw a mass of inhumanetous.
Heroes and villains it was kinda hard to tell,
The wounded hit the floor and we left them were they fell.
Broken glass and furniture were strewn across the floor,
Stepping over corpses as I made it to the door.

(chorus)
'Twas my first taste of anarchy,
Punks were all a panicky,
If you were there you won't forget the warehouse riot.
'Twas my first taste of anarchy,
Punks were all a panicky,
It went down in history as the warehouse riot.

There were no winners only losers that night,
Every-one went home and nobody died.
The wounds all healed but it took some time,
The scars remained throughout our lives.
But after the gig when all was quiet,
Lord Les returned though he always denied it.
To claim a souvenir, a memory of the day,
The whereabouts of Weezul's belt is still a mystery.

(chorus)
'Twas my first taste of anarchy,
Punks were all a panicky,
If you were there you won't forget the warehouse riot.
'Twas my first taste of anarchy,
Punks were all a panicky,
It went down in history as the warehouse riot.
