Wikipedia article
"'Riot'" is the fourth and final single from the album 'One-X' by Three Days Grace. It peaked at number 65 in Canada, and number 12 and 21 on the US Mainstream Rock and Modern Rock charts respectively. To date, this is the band's only single to miss the top ten on the former chart. Despite this, the single was certified Platinum in both Canada and US respectively.
Background
The song is about protesting against the negative things in life and was inspired by vocalist Adam Gontier's anger when he was in rehab for OxyContin addiction. The song was also featured in the video game 'WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2007' as an edited version.
It is one of only a few songs by the band to feature profanity. During radio play, the line "If you feel so filthy, so dirty, so fucked up", "fucked" is replaced with "messed", and in the 'WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2007' video game, the word "fuck" in that line is backmasked so that it sounds somewhat like "if you feel so filthy, so dirty, so huffed up".
