Environ Riot
The teen riot got a bad
rap
It was a passion a little bit
confused
We stormed the wall and crushed
the cup
We hit the nail and paved the
rut
Obscured in legend, dashed in
hopes
We upped the mountains and down
the slopes
With a fist of rage we punched
it through
We burned the bridge, now what's
left to do?
I read about the
suicide
It sunk in deep and opened my
eyes
Pathetic screams of desperate
souls
Pagan daft hate to fill in the
holes
The kettle's boiling,
adrenaline's rushing
Nostalgic kiss keeps a
retro-girl blushing
The deck is stacked, it's a
surefire bet
Fading away into a big screen
sunset
We want the whole nine
yards
Like the future is an empty
dream
We sleep all day and dance all
night
We scare the ghost and crash the
kite
It's an inhibition that we set
on fire
We're painting the town with sex
and desire
Are you on a trip? Do you feel
real shitty?
Envy-struck that your
girlfriend's pretty
It's not a miracle
drug
If the liquid isn't violent
green
You shut off the light and hang
up the phone
You open your mind and let in
the unknown
It's a vivid dream, it's a wave
of dim bliss
You wander the garden outside of
the palace
If you lose control remember
what's real
Break out the broken and deal
the raw deal
The time bomb hit the crowd
hard
It was a fire enough to light
the fuse
They crashed the car and beat
the road
They stirred the pot and rocked
the boat
Cloaked in darkness, shadowed
heart
We quit the ending and began the
start
With determination we'll be on
our way
Remember a past we call
yesterday
I wonder if I'm killing
time?
You bang the drum and wake up
the night
Anxious kids with paranoid
smiles
Cynical fear that nothing's
worthwhile
The tides are turning, these
times are changing
Everything is subject to
constant rearranging
You forget the details and alter
the truth
You label yourself a rebellious
youth
It was a deadbeat, jacked up,
ass kicking hi-and-run
It was a bonecrush, neckbreak,
takedown all-in-one
We had a counterplan attitude:
ripshit, ready to go
We had a rebel rage, street
fight, punk riot, set to blow
Confined in suburb town, bored
and lost
This revolution trend is at what
cost?
Surrounded by pavement, listless
fate
Parking lot tension, bottled up,
repressed teenaged hate

Foolproof Plan B
I'm a rock `n' roll junkie
trippin' through the country
Jamming to a heartbeat, looking
where to rest my feet
Met a dirty talking porn star
lounging in a strip bar
"Tell ya how its gonna be",
no-one makes a fool out of me
You can pop me like a pistol,
the plan is clear as crystal
Fill in every single hole, "you
say you wanna buy my soul?"
Annihilate every shred of
truth
To make the back up plan
foolproof
We'll save the day and learn to
live our lives another way
We'll run away and live to fight
again another day
I'm a rock `n' roll reject
chillin' in the projects
Dancing to a breakbeat, sleeping
here out on the street
I gotta find a new connection,
packing for protection
In and out of alleyways, I'm
gonna make it big some day
Perpetrate extortion to save you
from abortion
I fall into a snake pit, a
different day but same old shit
Eliminate any shade of
doubt
To survive with no escape
route
We'll save the day and learn to
live our lives another way
We'll run away and live to fight
again another day
I'm a rock `n' roll convert
preachin' in the suburbs
Bitchin' to a deadbeat, waiting
for a sucker to cheat
If Jesus is my witness he minds
his fucking business
I took her to a cheap motel,
everyone's got something to sell
"My normal life is boring; the
water tastes like chlorine
I could fake a suicide and run
away if you'll be my guide"
