Riot Act

Forever doesnt mean forever anymore

I said forever

But it doesnt look like Im 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 youre either gonna be for me or against me

I got your letter

Now they say I dont care for the colour that it paints me

Trying to be so bad is bad enough

Dont make me laugh by talking tough

Dont put your heart out on your sleeve

When your remarks are off the cuff
