[Intro]
F5
[Verse 1]
F5 G#5 F5 G#5 F5
Mouthy girlfriends talk on cell phones
G#5 F5 C#5
Leave the TV on
F5 G#5 F5 G#5 F5
I walk slowly, liquor heavy
G#5 F5 C#5 A#5
Concrete in my bones
F5 G#5 F5 G#5 F5
I'm not useless, just abusive
G#5 F5
No pouting at home
A#5
Cause the clock is ticking, the clock is ticking
And I can't figure out why we're not freaking out
[Chorus 1]
F5 A#5
We are a riot if we want it
C#5
We've been sleepin' with the dead
F5 A#5
We are a riot if we want it
C#5
Yeah but nothing's happening
F5 D#5 F5 D#5 F5 D#5 F5 D#5
Come on, come out, in to the night
A#5 C#5
And live the road then learn to fight
F5 A#5
We are a riot if we want it
C#5 F5
We want it
[Verse 2]
F5 G#5 F5 G#5 F5
Never ending, politicking
G#5 F5 C#5 A#5
Asphyxiation
F5 G#5 F5 G#5 F5
God of fire, build it higher
G#5 F5 F
Burn the castle down
A#5
Cause the clock keeps ticking, the clock keeps ticking
And I can't figure out why we're not freaking out
[Chorus 2]
