Riot Act Meaning

[[Verse 1]
Forever
It 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

[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 gonna keep me civilian

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[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 gonna keep me civilian

Riot act
You can read me the riot act
You can make me

[Outro]
Riot act
You can read me the riot act
You can read me the riot act
You can read me the riot act]
