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!
