R Is for Riot

It doesn't surprise me the way you treat your girlfriend
Just makes me wonder why she don't stab you in your sleep
And it doesn't surprise me when you mistreat your girlfriend
Just explains the Ginsu Knives she's been ordering off the TV

Late at night when the insects huddle on the sidelines
And the clock chants in the hall
And the staircase squirms
And the lawnmower lets its gasoline be siphoned
And the bed starts begging to be burned

When everybody is on fire
The American revolution will be over

Well it doesn't surprise me the way people treat eachother
Just makes me wonder from which hole will the hope come next time
It doesn't surprise me the way people mistreat eachother
But it explains my on strike

Late at night when the insects huddle on the sidelines
And the clock chants in the hall
And the staircase squirms
And the lawnmower asks for its gasoline be siphoned
And the whole city starts begging to be burned

When everybody is one fire
The American revolution will be over
