Music Lesson Riot

Intro

yeah, yeah, yeah

Verse

fingers raw on six steel strings

pick attack like a rattlesnake sting

count it out, one-two-three-four

teacher says slow but my foot wants more

Verse

callus building, blood on the board

every chord a little war

fret buzz, string snap, feedback roar

I break the rules they swore I swore

Verse

metronome ticking like a loaded gun

I crank the tempo till the damn thing runs

sheets of music scattered on the floor

I don’t read dots—I feel the roar

Chorus

this ain’t a lesson, it’s a riot (riot)

turn it up till the windows riot (riot)

strum it loud, let the neighbors try it

music lesson—watch me light it

Chorus

this ain’t a lesson, it’s a riot (riot)

turn it up till the windows riot (riot)

strum it loud, let the neighbors try it

music lesson—watch me light it

Outro

(da da da—da da da)

(wham-bam—let it slam)

yeah, yeah, yeah
