    How about "There's a Riot Goin' On" by Sly & The Family Stone?

    Sorry logan1, close but no cigar...
    Sly & The Family Stone's, "There's a Riot Goin' On" is the name of their 1971 album (no song with same title)

    The Roots have a song called "There's A RIOT Goin On" on their 1993 album, "Organix" but I cannot find lyrics anywhere. Also, The Dirty Royals have a song called "There's A RIOT Goin On" on their 2006 album, "Obsessed America" but it does not have any lyrics about parents or porches.

    Numerous artists including Commander Cody & the Lost Planet Airmen, The Blues Brothers, etc have done a cover of the Coasters 1971 song, "Riot In Cell Block Number Nine" but the lyrics are not a match for your request.

    I guess I will quit, now that I have told you everything I don't know...

    Oops! I messed that up. I do remember a song, light in tone /non-aggessive so to speak, which had a chorus of "there's a riot goin' on". In the chorus, that line would repeat 1 or 2 more times. Kind of a soft blues tune. Oh well, it was obviously not Sly. I know it's not the one the poster is inquiring about, I'm just trying to save face.

    Nah, you was jest testing me. I gave up years ago trying to save face and just grew a beard (hmmm, it sounded funnier in my head)

    It's not that old of a song I think it came out last year or the year before
