Riot Act Lyrics

I never wanted to be President
'Cause it's nothing but an ego trip, yeah
I didn't want your education
'cause it's nothin' but a pile of shit
You bore me to death so shut up for God's sake

CHORUS
Stop readin' me the riot act
While my brains are still intact
You say it's raining, but you're pissin' down my back
So stop readin' me the riot act

I couldn't listen to a word you said
This goin' nowhere thing is wearin' thin
When your sex, your drugs and your valedic'
Is just the spit I wipe off my chin
I'd rather go nowhere than not know where it's at

CHORUS

I never wanted to be President
'Cause it's nothin' but an ego trip, yeah
I didn't want you education
'Cause it's nothin' but a pile of shit
You bore me to death so shut up for God's sake

CHORUS

The riot act

Brilliant song. Great hooks/solo. What is it about? My interpretation: sheer rebellion. Pissed off at his parents or whomever is telling him to straighten up.

Great verse here: I never wanted to be President 'Cause it's nothing but an ego trip, yeah I didn't want your education 'cause it's nothin' but a pile of shit You bore me to death so shut up for God's sake
