The Matches - 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 passed on that piece of the pie 
That was planed 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 
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 says "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! 
The dust off these shoes 
And shake! shake! shake! 
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 lowway - 
To the air waves - 
We're all just tryna get a better look (a 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 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! 
The 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! 
The dust off these shoes 
And Shake! Shake! Shake! 
The dust off these shoes
