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 God damned insolence I would be happier with amnesia They say forget her Now it looks like you're either gonna be for me or against me I got your letter Now they say I don't care for the colour 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
