Riot Act

[Verse 1] Forever doesn't mean forever anymore I said forever But it doesn't look like I'm going to be around much anymore When the heat gets sub-tropical And the talk gets so topical [Chorus] 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 going to keep me civilian [Verse 2] 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 going to be for 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 [Chorus] [Outro][x3] Riot act- you can read me the riot act
