	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 passed on that piece of the 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 The POS car with the radio playing The graveyard jockey is on the air saying "There's a new hot band out of 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 Dust off these shoes I used to watch this kid Turning wrenches next door He grew up Engines strewn across the oil-stained floor Hey! I got a car And next year I knew better But I let her 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 said "The Rage got a new singer" The first note rips through the speaker 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 Dust off these shoes Shake Shake, shake Dust We're the wolves Prowlin' the shadows on these worn down streets A rabid dose of ambition drives us to the books To the highway To the low way And to the airwaves We're all just trying to get a better look A look At what's beyond the tall grass That goes around this town I gotta see the world for myself And I only know one way to get out Pick up ticket to anywhere 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 rise up out of this hole We make noise What else could we choose? We're gonna be more than local boys And shake Shake, shake Dust off these shoes We make noise (Shake, shake, shake) What else could we choose? (Shake, shake, shake) We're gonna be more than local boys And shake Shake, shake Dust off these shoes Shake Shake, shake The dust off these shoes
