Notice of Violation

A suburban rocker at war with his homeowners association over his garage band, flame decals, and "decorative" fireworks, and he frames every citation as a trophy.

[Intro]

[instrumental]

[Verse 1]

Flame decals down the Chevy, drum kit in the hall Amp stack at the doorway, volume on the wall Clipboard in the window, binoculars on me Cited for the volume, cited for the glee

[Pre-Chorus]

Red flag on my mailbox, the ink still wet They haven't run me off this street yet

[Chorus]

Notice of violation, nail it to my door! I'm the violation, and I'm back for more! Light the fuse, crank the amp, let the cul-de-sac roar Notice of violation, nail it to my door!

[Verse 2]

Certified letter, lawn at two inches tall Said my roman candles weren't decorative at all Board votes on Tuesday, they've named me a pest Tuesday I'm playing louder than the rest

[Chorus]

Notice of violation, nail it to my door! I'm the violation, and I'm back for more! Light the fuse, crank the amp, let the cul-de-sac roar Notice of violation, nail it to my door!

[Shouted Chant]

Section six, clause two! Section nine, clause four! Section twelve, clause eight! Not anymore!

[Bridge]

(spoken by the HOA president) Per article seven, section three. This board finds the resident in violation. Flame decals are non-conforming. Drums after nine at night are prohibited. Pyrotechnics, decorative or otherwise, are prohibited. You have ten days to comply. Thank you.

[instrumental]

[Breakdown]

Ten days? Light it up!

[Final Chorus]

Notice of violation, nail it to my door! I'm the violation, and I'm back for more! Light the fuse, crank the amp, let the cul-de-sac roar Notice of violation, nail it to my door!
