Salt
Good Riddance Lyrics

Don't be alarmed please don't take it personally
Please don't get upset or feel attacked by what we're about to say

But you're acting out on everybody here
Your behavior is negatively affecting everyone in this space

You're ability your virility's in doubt
Your masculinity and strength are being questioned

So one more time you clench your fists
You continue to resort to violence by balling your hands into fists

Scream and shout
You express your anger and aggression loudly

You high-five your friends
You celebrate your violent behavior with your peers

Like you're jocks at a football
You act as if you're on a sports team and revel in your aggression like it's a game

It seems you don't know when to quit
You don't seem to understand when your violent behavior is too much

The crowd stares in silence
Everyone around you is watching in disbelief and disapproval

As you practice violence
You continue to act out with physical aggression

To show you're the king of the pit
Your violent behavior is an attempt to establish dominance and power over others

What now we're sick of it
Everyone is tired and fed up with your violent behavior

So now no one goes
As a result of your behavior, no one wants to be close to the front of the crowd

To the front at shows anymore
People are avoiding the area near the stage to avoid being hurt by you

Because we don't want to be
Everyone is actively trying to avoid getting hurt in any way

Kicked in the head
People don't want to be physically assaulted, even if it's accidental

Or punched in the nose
Another example of physical harm they want to avoid

We don't care where you're from
No one is interested in your background or upbringing if it leads to violent behavior

We don't care what set you claim
No affiliation or group justifies your violent behavior

Why don't you get involved
Instead of being violent, why don't you contribute positively to the scene or community?

You don't even know our names
You aren't connected to the people around you and are instead creating a negative environment

Any scene worth it's salt
A valuable community would not tolerate or condone violent behavior

Would vilify aggression
The scene/community would strongly condemn and discourage violence

It seems that aggression's all you know
You seem incapable of expressing yourself or interacting with others without being aggressive

So stop throwing your fists
Stop resorting to violence as a means of communication or expression

Put out your hand
Offer a peaceful gesture or a sign of friendship

Participate in the show
Join the community in a positive way instead of being a source of negativity

Here we go
Let's move forward and make the scene a better place
