Lyrics

Me and billy like to sleep all day, on the floor is where we decay
Mohawks in disarray from cutler ridge to motherfucking biscayne bay
The gangs tried to kill us but we wouldn't take flight, brass
Knuckles and rusty knives kept the wolves at bay, and we'd play in
Traffic downtown, turn it up and take me away

[Bridge:]
What do you do when there's nowhere to go? empty pools and punk
Rock shows, anger that nobody knows and the sun goes down and the
Streetlights glow. we rolled through the city in a bucket of rust
With the punk rock south dade girls screaming lyrics at us from the
Backseat and kicking up dust to the sound of the only people we can trust

[Chorus: x2]
Out of control and you've shivered my timbers, I'm all fucked up the
Moon's just a sliver. yeah, silence is golden but duct tape is silver
Like the lining of the clouds that conceal the killers

The streets aren't safe when the winds are blowing, in the eye
Of the storm the blood starts flowing, we're gathering bricks and
We're gonna start throwing them at you (we'll throw them at you)
[X2]

Me and billy like to sleep all day, on the floor is where we decay
Mohawks in disarray from cutler ridge to motherfucking biscayne bay
The gangs tried to kill us but we wouldn't take flight, brass
Knuckles and rusty knives kept the wolves at bay, and we'd play in
Traffic downtown, turn it up and take me away

[Bridge]

[Chorus x2]

The streets aren't safe when the winds are blowing, in the eye
Of the storm the blood starts flowing, we're gathering bricks and
We're gonna start throwing them at you (we'll throw them at you)
[X2]

Kick us when we're down, we're not going away. we're the stray dogs that
Chase you, the ones that betray you. and wild through the streets
And sleep with the decay of all that you have left us; life in disarray

Out of control and you've shivered my timbers, I'm all fucked up the
Moon's just a sliver. yeah, silence is golden but duct tape is silver
Yeah, silence is golden but duct tape is silver. obey!

Out of control and you've shivered my timbers, tell us to shut up and we'll give you the finger. yeah, silence is golden but duct tape is silver
Yeah, silence is golden but duct tape is silver. obey!
