lyrics

Read myself the riot act
Found it easy to ignore
In one ear and out of touch
What’s the point in keeping score?
Read myself the riot act
Found it easy to defy
In one ear and out to lunch
What’s the point in asking why?
Read myself the riot act
On deaf ears it did fall
What’s the point of taking note
When you already know it all?
But something new broke on through
To follow a leader to something true
Read myself the riot act
Only to roll my eyes
‘Till one day I flipped the switch
And caught myself by surprise
But something new broke on through
To follow a leader to something true
Now I can see that the leader in me
Will always be reading it to me
Reading the riot act
Read myself the riot act
