Riot were a Soul - Funk band emerged in 1974 with the album " Welcome To The World Of Riot " . Their album is not a masterpiece of Funk - Soul Music , but it contains the super Funk song " Put your gun down brother " .

The psych-funk opus "Just Beyond" is especially impressive thanks to John DeLuna's monolithic drums, while "Put Down Your Gun Brother" summons the spirit of War.


" Put your gun down brother
  I'm on your side .
  Pistols make nervous
  so put down your gun brother .

  Brother killing brother
  and you know ain't right
  No, No , Not shoot me brother
  No , No , Don't shoot ."
