Sonic Youth - "Teenage Riot" (lyrics)

One of my favourites ever:

Lyrics:
.
Everybody's talking 'bout the stormy weather
And what's a man do to 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 hypernation for you
.
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 round 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
.
