[Verse 1 — fast jagged punk tempo, loud cable-pop opening, feedback squeal into driving messy drums] Spit on the pavement, lace up the boots I’m digging my heels in, tearing up roots! Don’t need a venue, don’t need a light We’re hijacking the rhythm of the alley tonight! [Heavy distorted bass slide] Look at the Strays, yeah, look at the crew Four beautiful disasters coming for you! One’s got the rhythm, one’s got the grit And we’re all just waiting for the fuse to be lit! [Pre-Chorus — rapid unpolished snare fill, high tempo, heavier industrial bass] Can you hear the hum? Can you feel the surge? On the edge of the breakdown, On the brink of the verge! [Gang Vocals] (HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY!) [Chorus — explosive high-octane punk, massive distorted guitar hit] STATIC RIOT! STATIC RIOT! We’re the glitch in the system, the beautiful riot! STATIC RIOT! STATIC RIOT! Turning up the volume just to drown out the quiet! [Gang Vocals] (OI! OI! OI! OI!) [Verse 2 — fast driving rhythm, metal trash-can percussion leading into full kit] Busted amps and a shopping cart beat Making our own magic on a dead-end street! One’s got the wires, one’s got the fuzz Doing exactly what nobody does! [Screeching guitar feedback] We don’t ask permission, we don’t follow the plan Catch us if you can, yeah, catch us if you can! Scavenging the signal, stealing the spark We’re the neon lightning in the urban dark! [Chaotic crashing drum fill] [Breakdown — bass and drums driving forward, alternating Trix and gang vocals] No stage! (DON’T NEED IT!) No crowd! (WE’LL MAKE IT!) Bad wire! (DON’T TOUCH IT!) Too late! (WE BROKE IT!) Streetlight buzzing, whole block awake Kick that busted speaker till the windows shake! If the fuse holds out, then we’re doing it wrong Four Strays, one riot, one filthy song! [Instrumental — distorted guitar and scavenged-metal percussion trade riffs] [Bridge — half-time stomp, heavy industrial percussion, boots pounding wet pavement in unison] (STOMP! STOMP! STOMP! STOMP!) Plug it in! (HEY!) Turn it up! (HEY!) Break the circuit! (HEY!) Fill the cup! [Feedback builds into an increasingly massive wall of sound] [Final Chorus — maximum volume, total sonic chaos, most anthemic delivery] STATIC RIOT! STATIC RIOT! We’re the glitch in the system, the beautiful riot! STATIC RIOT! STATIC RIOT! Turning up the volume just to drown out the quiet! [Gang Vocals] (OI! OI! OI! OI!) [Outro — fast repetitive punk riff, gang voices underneath, gradually degrading into digital stuttering and static] Still got power? (YEAH!) Still too loud? (YEAH!) Anybody tell us stop? (YEAH!) Did we listen? (HELL NO!) [Spoken — Trix, bratty, over dying riff] Did you miss us? [Massive electrical short-circuit, sudden absolute silence]
