Ataris, The - Teenage Riot Lyrics






3 years gone by and still everyone screws up our name
no matter what you do still some things never change
seen a lot of the world, met a lot of friends
got a lot of fond memories
there's nothing like playing a basement show
on a saturday night in pennsylvania.

start the show, here we go
jumping in the crowd
we've gotta tear this building down.

the cops show up as usual
to try and ruin our fun.
it's time to show 'em all
just how its done.

gonna have a teenage riot.
they'll never understand
what it's like to be a kid today.
gonna have a teenage riot.
let's blow 'em all away.

another night we'll be
staying in some crack hotel
and sneaking everyone in
through the bathroom window.

gonna blow up everything in sight
and get chased away into the night
by some crazy bastard with a
shotgun in his hand.

start the show, here we go
jumping in the crowd
we've gotta tear this building down.
the cops show up as usual
and try to ruin our fun.
its time to tell them all to fuck off!

    B.... B....

    its still awesome though...

  15. P.... P....

    I Love it. spit.

  16. S.... ....

    It does resemble it a bit, but I agree, they're two very different songs.

  17. T.... R....

    That made me chuckle like a half asleep coke fiend.

  18. D.... A....

    fucking good old days, i wanna go back

    D.... A....

    Daniel Alvarez same dude! My first concert was ataris man ducking loved it. Didn’t even know who they were then all of a sudden I had tickets and learned all their shit and fell in love. I miss 2004 so much

  19. C.... ....

    I agree the song itself is nothing like it maybe the beginning but that's it. Also when I watched the actual video it did remind me of the Longview video but that's about it

  20. H.... B....

    He didn't play Summer Wind either. Gutted!!
    Amazing show though.

  21. R.... J....

    True story, I was at the Atari's gig tonight in Cardiff, near the end of the set Kris Roe was asking for requests, I shouted "Teenage Riot!" and he said "No, I fucking hate that song". Gutted :(

    R.... J....

    DUDE FUCKING SAME. I know your comment is 5 years ago. But I asked him the same thing about 6-7 years ago in Little rock arkansas. He said the same thing

    R.... J....

    He also apparently has an ego problem. Was fucking amazing live regardless. He did mostly stuff from So Long Astoria

  22. M.... 7....

    The Ataris. Like the NOFX-Green Day unplanned child that tried to grow up with it's own identity, but ended up a bit like the mother.

  23. A.... ....

    I was always confused about The Ataris when I was a teenage rioter.

  24. g.... ....

    Yup, they did a song with slayer on the spawn soundtrack. I distinctly remember that :D It's called No Remorse.

  25. g.... ....

    They're digital hardcore, not industrial.

  26. T.... ....

    lol, better

  27. 3.... ....

    OK... EATaris

  28. T.... ....

    that was......crap

  29. 3.... ....

    FATaris

    3.... ....

    hahahaha.....fat boy cute

  30. z.... ....

    That is rad! When girls I've dated look up bands I like, they never like it...

  31. D.... P....

    DIGITAL HARDCORE is the correct name for what they play/invented

  32. D.... P....

    Speedcore, excellent band

  33. l.... ....

    This is one of those bands i was never able to decide whether i liked them or not. listening to this 10 years later finally decided i do, if only for the nostalgia of being 18 again. and the fact my ex loved them. and she was hot.

  34. o.... ....

    kinda though.

  35. s.... ....

    my bf listen to this band is one of his favorites so i come here listen to them and i love it!!! <3

  36. a.... ....

    @ItHappens117 No. Just no. Not even kinda.

  37. N.... ....

    The ataris are nothing like green day. Kris Roe is such a talented writer. He could write laps over green day.

  38. H.... ....

    Have these guys ever heard of Green Day?

  39. C.... W....

    Amazing band miss being 16!!!!!!

  40. A.... T....

    This was the very first song I heard from The Ataris, 10 years of pure punk rock. Thank you!

  41. D.... V....

    all the pop "punk" videos from 90's and early 2000's all looked like this where they focused on the band. they were just low budget and unoriginal is all. none of these are parodies of any others.

  42. E.... M....

    @mrj420tx lololol sad that this has to be explained.

  43. j.... b....

    they were teenagers back then dumbasses this is old.

  44. W.... ....

    @ZachBamfy they werent acting like teenagers, they were teenagers back then

  45. Z.... ....

    @WhoIsPine uhhh?

  46. P.... ....

    Stop saying this is a Longview parody... then every song with a funny bassline is a parody?... fucking shit.
    This, Longview and MxPx's "Chick Magnet" are great but different songs.

  47. W.... ....

    @ZachBamfy lol you sure are dumb

  48. R.... ....

    "Longview" anyone?

    R.... ....

    RideMyTruck yes

  49. p.... ....

    When did the ataris try to sound like, green day, rancid, and every local band that ever existed. this is awful.

  50. L.... H....

    I have never heard such awful lyrics in my whole life

  51. Z.... ....

    why are these guys still acting like they're teenagers? they've gotta be like 25 by now

  52. S.... K....

    @FiascoPX chill the fuck out dude.

  53. T.... J....

    @ItHappens117 seriously, the tone of the bass sounds the same. The notes are not the same as longview though, by any means.

  54. F.... ....

    Fuck off you idiots !!! It's SO not like Longview

  55. T.... B....

    beginning sounds a lot like longview by green day

  56. R.... ....

    Been a while I didn't listen to those guys! Good ol' Ataris!

  57. M.... B....

    isnt there an industrial band name The Atari Teenage Riot?

    M.... B....

    Mordecai Bluejay I believe you are right. Idk if they are labeled as industrial. They sound more like hardcore/techno to me then again who knows.

  58. b.... ....

    @grindcoremaniac hmm shows what lil i know about this band lol

  59. g.... ....

    @brandonw42 this was before that album.

  60. F.... ....

    @ItHappens117

    For sure.

  61. R.... B....

    Saw these guys live in a park and loved them ever since.

  62. b.... ....

    wow hes chubby, nothing like he looked in Boys of Summer

  63. F.... J....

    this is good
