  • I've been looking for a fight
    All the trouble that I know
    Trying to lose the wild inside
    But it's got no place to go
    Oh I'm armed and dangerous
    At the whim of my command
    I been searching for an angle
    For a cause I can't defend

    Oh take me on
    Let me go all day
    Just beat it 'til I know
    'Til I, I know that
    The riot's gone
    The riot's gone away

    I've been haunted all my life
    On the brink of something close
    People know that I ain't right
    Know I'm grappling with a ghost
    Oh I'm armed and dangerous
    And I'm deafened by the fray
    Waiting for the day I'm able
    And I set it on it's way

    Oh take me on
    Let me go all day
    Just beat it 'til I know
    'Til I, I know that
    The riot's gone
    The riot's gone away

    Turn it on, turn it on
    Now blow for blow
    I want to make up now
    For all the things I swallow
    That I can't control
    Get it out, get it out
    Where does it go? So
    One day we wake up
    Someone we wish to God
    We could say we don't know

    Oh take me on
    Let me go all day
    Just beat it 'til I know
    'Til I, I know that
    The riot's gone
    The riot's gone away

    Hey, I heard it for a moment, now hey
    I hear it coming in, be quiet, hey
    I heard it for a moment now
