Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
If you feel so empty
So used up, so let down
If you feel so angry
So ripped off, so stepped on
You're not the only one
Refusing to back down
You're not the only one
So get up
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
If you feel so filthy
So dirty, so fucked up
If you feel so walked on
So painful, so pissed off
You're not the only one
Refusing to go down
You're not the only one
So get up
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
If you feel so empty
So used up, so let down
If you feel so angry
Just get up
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
So used up, so let down
If you feel so angry
So ripped off, so stepped on
You're not the only one
Refusing to back down
You're not the only one
So get up
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
If you feel so filthy
So dirty, so fucked up
If you feel so walked on
So painful, so pissed off
You're not the only one
Refusing to go down
You're not the only one
So get up
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
If you feel so empty
So used up, so let down
If you feel so angry
Just get up
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Oh, and PsycoSmartAlec, no offense meant, but Korn just ain't die hard metal. There not bad, but they sure as hell aren't die hard, and Three Days Grace certainly isn't diehard metal, this song happens to just be a cute little rabble rouser (not that that's an insult in this situation). Pantera on the other hand, good call. Cemetery Gates=REALLY FUCKIN' AWESOME!!!!!!! Still, you haven't heard diehard metal until you've heard: Metallica (early), Slayer, Megadeth, Mercyful Fate, Deicide, Necrophagist, Emperor, Dimmu Borgir, Dark Funeral, Mayhem, Marduk, Dark Angel, Decapitated, Dying Fetus, Belphagor, Destroyer 666, Demonic Resurrection, Mortal Sin, Cryptopsy, Iron Maiden, Kreator, Testament, Dragonforce, Hammerfall, Suffocation, 1349, Black Sabbath, Behemoth, etc..., this list if completed, would go on fuckin' forever.
