More Than Local Boys lyrics

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 watchThis 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 awayGotta 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 tryn 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!
