"Yeah sex is great, but have you ever fucked the system?"

"RIOT" is about our fights for equal rights that are happening on our streets globally, inspired by the Black Lives Matter protests in the U.S. and the recent arrest of Pussy Riot’s Peter Verzilov. "Hate to hate, and my religion is resistance. Fuck the state, men love when women only whisper" - screams Nadya Tolokonnikova. The track was released on the July the 3rd, and was warmly welcomed by critics; Anthony Fantano called the track "a banger".

Pussy Riot believe that the police as an institution should be abolished, and an institution that truly serves the people has to arise from police's ashes.

Pussy Riot updates: Pussy Riot's Peter Verzilov is going through a painful criminal investigation currently in Moscow. His flat and flats of his relatives were searched by the police eight times so far; all his documents and documents of his family are seized. Peter can't leave Moscow while the investigation. He's being accused of failing to declare dual citizenship (Russian and Canadian) and faces fines. It's clear that this criminal case has a goal to intimidate Peter Verzilov, Pussy Riot and other activists and to prevent protest actions from happening while Putin loses his popularity and support.

"RIOT", an official protest music video, is directed, edited, colored and styled by Pussy Riot's singer and a founder Nadya, because it's crucial for the collective to maintain DIY production. The track "RIOT" is recorded in collaboration with IXXF, a Berlin-based hyperbolic IDM artist.

“RIOT” (lyrics):
yeah sex is great 
but have you ever fucked the system
hate to hate
and my religion is resistance

fuck the state
men love when women only whisper
hear me scream
your silence won't protect u
(x4)
boom boom boom
riot boom boom boom

Like a baby with a knife
Like a baby with a knife
Piss me off, we’re gonna fight
(Yeah yeah we’re gonna fight)
And you’re fucking swine
(Yeah yeah you’re fucking swine)
Not even worth the time
You’re not even worth the time
Because a baby with a knife’ll
Fucking keep you up at night 
When I cry you’re gonna see
Gonna riot in the streets
And you’re fucking swine
(Yeah yeah you’re fucking swine)
Not even worth the time
But I’ll make you worth my time ha

all this cop cars give me anxiety
all these killers give me anxiety
politicians give me anxiety
all these fascists give me anxiety
boom boom boom
riot boom boom boom
boom boom boom
riot boom boom boom
