More Than Local Boys Lyrics

Out in the streets at all hours of the night

Softly bathed in flickering dashboard lights

Hey!

Take this sign as a rain check

For the piece of pie

That was labeled 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

Well I used to watch

This kid turning wrenches next door

He grew up

Engines strewn across the oil stained floor

I got a car 

I was 16 

Eager to 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 "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 tryna 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

Gotta rock out

Gotta rock right out of the hole

Let's Go!

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!
