More Than Local Boys |
Out in the streets at all hours of the night |
Softly bathed in flickering dashboard lights |
Hey! |
There’s no painless |
way to say |
that I pass on the piece of pie |
that you planned as mine |
I’m starving too but I’m hungry for life |
Not that life, |
But my life, |
It’s my time |
My POS car with the radio playin' |
The graveyard jockey is on the air sayin' |
«Here's a new hot band outta Oakland…» |
And it’s the sound |
Of my way out |
We make noise |
What else could we choose? |
We’re gonna be more than local boys |
And shake! |
shake! |
shake! |
The dust off these shoes |
I used to watch |
This kid turning wrenches next door |
He grew up |
Engines strewn across the oil stained floor |
I got a car |
The next year |
I knew better but let it fall |
into disrepair |
I gotta get away |
Gotta get away, |
Gotta get away from here |
But four wheels |
aren’t going to get me there |
Summer time blues |
on the front porch swinger |
The jock says that |
The Rage got a new singer |
The first note |
rips through the speaker |
And it’s the sound |
of my way out |
Yeah! |
We make noise |
What else could we choose? |
We’re gonna be more than local boys |
And shake! |
shake! |
shake! |
The dust off these shoes |
We make noise |
What else could we choose? |
We’re gonna be more than local boys |
And shake! |
shake! |
shake! |
The dust off these shoes… |
The dust off these shoes… |
We’re the wolves |
Prowlin' the shadows of these worn down streets |
A rabid dose of ambition drives us to the books |
To the highways — |
To the low-way — |
To the air waves — |
We’re all just tryin' to get a better look |
At what’s beyond the tall grass |
That groes around this town |
I gotta see the world for myself |
And I only know one way to get out |
Pick up my ticket to any where but here |
It’s got six strings and a soul |
I gotta get away, Gotta get away |
Gotta get away from here |
Turn it up, and rock right out of this whole |
We make noise |
What else could we choose? |
We’re gonna be more than local boys |
And shake! |
shake! |
shake! |
The dust off these shoes |
We make noise |
What else could we choose? |
We’re gonna be more than local boys |
And shake! |
shake! |
shake! |
The dust off these shoes |
Shake! |
Shake! |
Shake! |
Shake! |
Shake! |
Shake! |
Shake! |
Shake! |
Shake! |
Shake! |
Shake! |
Shake! |
