Steady Riot Lyrics
Lower Allston Rising
The music's made on Boston's dejected streets
In polluted rooms and sweat dripping ceilings
We come together, defiance on the road
But the freeway can be brutal with no dosh or a home yeah
Music, a steady riot in my soul
My buddy Johnny, he can never get up
But it's him who should be admired
Not those fame driven shmucks
Works at a bar, gives me pints and free eats
I swear, Johnny alone feeds the Allston music scene
And then there's Sudz, yeah he can get bummed
After a long night of drinking in that rude riot fun
But it's easy to get down when you view life as a stray
But my man he brings me up
I should tell him one of these days
Music, a steady riot in my soul
Always in me
Just walking back from Central Square
Thinking about what I heard this smart guy share
S'like there's a time to drink and to dream
Then create and complete
My life, resistant words, a good riff and a beat
A steady riot
In polluted rooms and sweat dripping ceilings
We come together, defiance on the road
But the freeway can be brutal with no dosh or a home yeah
But it's him who should be admired
Not those fame driven shmucks
Works at a bar, gives me pints and free eats
I swear, Johnny alone feeds the Allston music scene
After a long night of drinking in that rude riot fun
But it's easy to get down when you view life as a stray
But my man he brings me up
I should tell him one of these days
Always in me
Thinking about what I heard this smart guy share
S'like there's a time to drink and to dream
Then create and complete
My life, resistant words, a good riff and a beat

I think this song is about the simple life and how they don't want things to change. they are happy with the same old music and the same good friends, they don't need fame and fortune.
Fucking Right! This is a hella good way to start off the cd. This cd has a good ora...very uplifting....it smothers me when i'm down to where I am forced to squeeze out a smile.
this song's so good. i think it's about music creating a sense of purity in people. awesome. kudos to big d on the purity.
see: operation ivy, sound system. i get a similar vibe, especially from the choruses of both. the verses differ a bit, but the choruses express exactly the same sentiment i think.
