Sonic Youth:Teen Age Riot Lyrics

You're it - no, you're it

Yeah, you're really it - you're it

No, I mean it, you're it

Say it, don't spray it

Spirit desire, face me

Spirit desire, don't displace me

Spirit desire, we will fall

Miss me, don't dismiss me

Spirit desire

Spirit desire, spirit desire

Spirit desire, we will fall

Spirit desire, we will fall

Spirit desire, spirit desire

Spirit desire, we will fall

Spirit desire, we will fall

Everybody's talking 'bout the stormy weather and what's a man to do but work out whether it's true?

Looking for a man with a focus and a temper who can open up a map and see between one and two

Time to get it before you let it get to you

Here he comes now. Stick to your guns and let him through

Everybody's coming from the winter vacation, taking in the sun in a exaltation to you

You come running in on platform shoes with Marshall stacks to at least just give us a clue

Ah, here it comes. I know it's someone I knew

Teenage riot in a public station, gonna fight and tear it up in a hyper-nation for you

Now I see it I think I'll leave it out of the way

Now I come near you and it's not clear why you fade away

Looking for a ride to your secret location where the kids are setting up a free-speed nation for you

Got a foghorn and a drum and a hammer that's rocking and a cord and a pedal and a lock, that'll do me for now

It better work out. I hope it works out my way

'Cause it's getting kind of quiet in my city head takes a teenage riot to get me out of bed right now

You better look it, we're gonna shake it up to him

He acts the hero, we paint a zero on his hand

We know it's down. We know it's bound too loose

Everybody's sound is around it, everybody wants to be proud to choose

So who's to take the blame for the stormy weather, you're never gonna stop all the teenage leather and booze

It's time to go 'round. A one man showdown, teach us how to fail

We're off the streets now and back on the road on the riot trail
