Run Riot
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Living by the law is a bloody necessary bore
Everybody are you gettin' what you're lookin' for
Livin' by the rule is somethin' that you gotta do
But does it matter if we break a rule or two
Get up, break out, don't be the odd one out
Livin' on the edge, I'm a tryin' to keep a level head
Every morning it's a bummer gettin' out of bed
Same old story does a nothin' ever ever change
Yeah, they lock me up and then they let me out again
Get up, break out, don't be the odd one out
Come on, it's alright, we're hot tonight
You better run, run riot
You gotta run, run riot
You know the time has come
Run, run riot, I mean everyone
Run, yeah, run riot
Oh, gotta run riot babe
Goin' through the motions desperation guaranteed
Whoa, get f-f-frustrated easily
Pedal to the metal senses working overtime
Hey, gonna fight to the finish baby
Draw the line
Get up, break out, don't be the odd one out
C'mon, it's alright we're hot tonight
Run, run riot
You gotta run, run riot
You know the time has come
Run, run riot, I mean everyone
Run, yeah, run riot
Speak to me
They lock me up, they let me out but I'm up and runnin'
I scream and shout
Get up, break out, don't be the odd one out
Come on, it's alright we're hot tonight
You better run, run riot
You gotta run, run riot
You know the time has come
Run, run riot, come on, run with me
Run, run riot
Run, run riot
I'll take you from your misery
Come on, stick with me
