Kids are united and they will never be divided! [Repeat: x 4]
You know that violence is a disease
It's going to be a part of our lives and our future if we don't do something against it!
But if we put our energies together it could be a very powerful era!
Riot sound effects can produce riots
Play them in a riot situation and the police will come you'll see!
The kids are united and they will never be divided!Play this game right!
No difference between black and white! The difference's between young and old!
Just pointing out that cuts on a ghetto blaster can be used as a weapon!
Fight!

United! United ... (all)
The game is drawing to a close so it looks as good a time as any to ask the final question:
What does the future hold for us?
Bring it down to ask for the coming back! If the kids are united!
Kids! Kids!... [Repeat: x 8]
United!

Kids are united and they will never be divided!
Kids are united and they will never be divided!

Riot sound effects can produce riots! Play them in a riot situation and the police will come you'll see
The kids are united and they will never be divided! Play this game right!
No difference between black and white! The difference's between young and old!
Just pointing out that cuts on a ghetto blaster can be used as a weapon!
Turn it up and see what happens...

The game is drawing to a close so it looks as good a time as any to ask the final question :
What does the future hold for us? 
Bring it down to ask for the coming back ...
If the kids are united!

They've got 80,000 in the bank and they don't know how to live!
I used to work in a club where they never came to dance ... F*ck them up!

Kids are united and they will never be divided! [Repeat: x 4]
United! United! United! United! United! United!
United! United! United! United! United! United!

Atari Teenage Riot

Atari Teenage Riot (abbreviated ATR) is a German digital hardcore group formed in Berlin in 1992. The name was taken from a Portuguese Joe song entitled "Teenage Riot" from the album "Teen-age Riot", with the word 'Atari' added as an Atari ST computer was used to create compositions. Highly political, they fused anarchist, anti-fascist and anti-Nazi views with punk vocals and the newly emerging techno sound called digital hardcore, which is a term band member Alec Empire used as the name of his record label. more »
