Riot Act - The Breakers

My baby started rocking

Moving through the darkness dressed in black

You don’t wanna love me

And I don’t wanna love you right back

A love for momma

From the dignity of pride

Momma really let me down

She kissed me and she died

You can read me the riot act

I don’t care and that’s a fact

You can read me the riot act

Once I’m gone, I won’t be back

I had a job, I had a girl

I could not play by the rules

Now I’m on the run

In seventeen states

And you know what?

That ain’t true

My daddy was a preacher, I’m told I was his mortal sin

I spent my whole life proving

That I’m better than him

You can read me the riot act

I don’t care and that’s a fact

You can read me the riot act

Once I’m gone I won’t be back

You can read me the riot act

I don’t care and that’s a fact

You can read me the riot act

Once I’m gone I won’t be back
