Riot Act |
| Forever doesn’t mean forever anymore, I said forever |
| But it doesn’t look like I’m gonna be around much anymore |
| When the heat gets sub-tropical and the talk gets so topical |
| Riot act, you can read me the riot act |
| You can make me a matter of fact or a villain in a million |
| A slip of the tongue is gonna keep me civilian |
| Why do you talk such stupid nonsense |
| When my mind could rest much easier |
| Instead of all this dumb dumb insolence |
| I would be happier with amnesia |
| They say forget her |
| Now it looks like you’re either gonna be before me or against me |
| I got your letter |
| Now they say I don’t care for the color that it paints me |
| Trying to be so bad is bad enough |
| Don’t make me laugh by talking tough |
| Don’t put your heart out on your sleeve |
| When your remarks are off the cuff |
| Riot act, you can read me the riot act |
| You can make me a matter of fact or a villain in a million |
| A slip of the tongue is gonna keep me civilian |
| Riot act, you can read me the riot act |
| You can make me |
