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 |
