Welcome to the riot, it's saturday night

I'm workin' on red eyes but i'm feeling alright

Ain't it like a living end, and burning like a flame

I take it to the limit before the glory fades

You say our music's brainless-boring punk rock

A psychedelic nightmare, but when they gonna stop

Andrew's on daniel's, toody's on bliss

It's all i ever wanted, the best it ever gets

My head's a little scattered 'cause i'm working on the dead line



There's a panic going backstage, something just broke

Edwin's got a flashlight, looking through the smoke

Monitors squeeling and i just broke a string

And andrew's got beer sprayed all over everything

Someone tripped the power, the lights are going dim

People hanging outside trying to get in

Toody's yelling something, i must be out of tune

That's the least of my problems, can't hear nothing in this room

My head's a little scattered 'cause i'm working on the dead line



Yeah, my life's a broken wire but i'm getting my kicks

Another night of chaos with edwin on the mix

Time to load equipment, where the hell did andrew go ?

Weeden's got the t-shirts, and records on the floor

Hans and ruud are talking, man, i need a cigarette

They say we're playing vera, if we don't get in a wreck

Toody holds the lighter, when someone has to ask

"so why's the candle burning ?" "cause nothing ever lasts"

My head's a little scattered 'cause i'm working on the dead line
