QUIET RIOT LYRICS

1. Can't Get Enough

Momma didn't want me
To be like him
Momma didn't want me to know
She didn't have a choice
She had to give in
'Cause all he ever wanted
Was to rock n' roll

Daddy was a greaser and a
Rambling man
Daddy wasn't under control
We couldn't get a hold
We didn't understand
He put the pedal to metal
Got addicted to the road

People try to get along
But didn't go there
I took another road
Don't give me the noose
You give me that no disrespect
I'm coming back
You're outta track
Not in it for you
I'll win and I'll lose but

(I can't get enough) of these illusions
(I can't get enough) of this life
Tell you what I'm gonna do
Give me what you wanna
I'm here for the fight and the love
And I can't get enough

Momma had to give in to madness
Momma got a hand-me guitar
A product of abandoning
6 strings to callus me
Knew what I wanted
Didn't know what for

Daddy, he was running
From something
Daddy chased the dragon too far
I'm picking up his pieces
I know what I believe in
Makin' daddy proud and mamma's never too far

People try to get along
But I didn't go there
I took another road
Don't give me the noose
You give me that no disrespect
I'm booming back
You're outta track
Not in it for you
I'll win and I'll lose but

(I can't get enough) of these illusions
(I can't get enough) of this life
Tell you what I'm gonna do
Give me what you wanna
I'm here for the fight and the love
And I can't get enough

(I can't get enough) of these illusions
(I can't get enough) of this life
Tell you what I'm gonna do
Give me what you wanna
I'm here for the fight and the love
And I can't get enough

18 years ago
I thought I'd never relate
But now those days are gone
We're here for the day
I'm coming in late

(I can't get enough) of these illusions
(I can't get enough) of this life
Tell you what I'm gonna do
Give me what you wanna
I'm here for the fight and the love
And I can't get enough

(I can't get enough) of these illusions
(I can't get enough) of this life
Tell you what I'm gonna do
Give me what you wanna
I'm here for the fight and the love
And I can't get enough

2. Getaway

The day to day is so mundane
Instead of reachin' outward
Just to find a different outlet
I don't wanna no no no

Well, big boss man's
Got the upper hand
Big bully for the company
Ain't truly who you want to be? Tell me! No no no

Waiting here
Our days are longer
Take a chance and
Make or break it

I don't need no invitation
I just want to getaway

I disagree
You're not the boss of me
Were getting tied
Of the enemy
And how it's never gonna be
The way we want it no no no

My mind is made
We are on our way
And they're never gonna get it
If they don't know
Where we're headed
Taking off for worse or better
Getting lost with no agenda
We've been waiting
For the same thing
Like it's taking,

Disappearing days, no longer
It's our chance to
Make or break it

Get back to your native nature
Got no time to hesitate
I don't need no invitation
I just want to getaway

Well, it's time I was
Packing my bags
Got to get me some of that
Got a new reason to celebrate
Getting out of this
Getting outta that
Got a getaway!

Ooh let's fly

Taking off, no telling
When I'll be home
Where we are, on a getaway,
I gotta let it roll

Get back to your native nature
Got no time to hesitate
I don't need no invitation
I just want to getaway

3. Roll This Joint

Break it all up now
Like crumbling leaves
Bring us all together my little pieces
Smooth it all down
Or we could pack it all in
Anybody, everybody, or just myself

There's so many ways
That I can get to know ya
There are so many vibes
And I'll give 'em a try

Hold each end uh loosely
Lick it up and give it a twist
Caught me in a blue dream
Strike a match with a flick of the wrist
If you're missing the point
After I rock this house, I'm a roll this...

We're lifting off now
Packed to explode
Take 2 to pass. We're riding with the joker
Well, do you wanna
Stick to the road?
Ain't no telling where exactly we will go to

'Cause there's so many ways
That I can get to know ya
There are so many vibes
And I'll give 'em a try

Hold each end uh loosely
Lick it up and give it a twist
Caught me in a blue dream
Strike a match with a flick of the wrist
If you're missing the point
After I rock this house, I'm a roll this...

Join the crowd
They'll tell you where I'll be
I'm with Cheech and Chong
And Willie and Marley
Get stoned!

If you feel for the truth
Now reach for your light
I think it's time we get some "feel good" in your system
Fire up for freedom
Burn up all night
'Cause now we're going twice as high
In half the distance

There's so many ways
That I can get to know ya
There are so many vibes
Come on and give 'em a try

Hold each end uh loosely
Lick it up and give it a twist
Caught me in a blue dream
Strike a match with a flick of the wrist
If you're missing the point
After I rock this house, I'm a roll this joint
Gotta keep on rolling!
I said you're too uptight
And you're missing the point
After I rock this house, I'm a roll this joint

4. Freak Flag

Cast out and all alone
In this barren wasteland
You never been so far from home
But now we're on our way there

It takes heart to bleed your veins
From what they make us into
We're rising from the flames
To break the chains around you

Locked out, shut down
We'll never be the same (hey) again
We're running through them
Don't look back, throw down
Get ready
They're about to meet the revolutions

Forget what the world thinks
We are the chosen
We live. To ride
Our freak flags flying
Nobody owns you
Fight to be free
Put your hands up
And your freak flag flying

Mistreated far too long
Just the opposite of adulation
But we're rising to this song
Never fear, the used generation

Thrown out, locked down
We'll never be the same (hey) again
We're running through them
Shut down, locked out
Get ready for the end (hey)
To make its retribution

Forget what the world thinks
We are the chosen
We live. To ride
Our freak flags flying
Nobody owns you
Fight to be free
Put see your hands up
And your freak flag flying

With your metal masks on
And boots laced tight
Let me see your hands up
And your freak flag fly

Forget what the world thinks
We are the chosen
We live. To ride
Our freak flags flying
Nobody owns you
Fight to be free
Put see your hands up
And your freak flag flying

Put your hands up
(With your metal masks on)
Put your hands up
(And your boots laced tight)
Put your hands up
(Let me see your hands up and your)
Freak flag flying
(Ha ha ha ha ha ha)

5. Wasted

Take it out, take it all
Like a hypocrite
Make a fool out of yourself
Waste of time, waste of life
Like an idiot
Blame yourself in your own farewell

I know the story
You don't deserve the glory
Dug your grave
And there's hell to pay

(Take your shot)
What you had could've made it
(Take your shot)
But you're false and faceless
(Take your shot)
With nobody left to save you
Gotta face it
You're the wasted

You're never wrong, always right
But you're counterfeit
I've seen the light and it shines straight through you
I'm not alone and on the edge
It's no surprise you're living dead
So change your name
Third times the charm
We all know who you are

I know the story
You don't deserve the glory
Dug your grave and there's hell to pay

(Take your shot)
What you had could've made it
(Take your shot)
But you're false and faceless
(Take your shot)
With nobody left to save you
Gotta face it
You're the wasted

We are the fight, fire off
You're the enemy
You make a lot of noise but you're deaf to reason
Strike a match, burn yourself
And your legacy
Save your prayers when you face the demons

I know the story
You don't deserve the glory
Dug your grave and there's hell to pay

(Take your shot)
What you had could've made it
(Take your shot)
But you're false and faceless
(Take your shot)
With nobody left to save you
Gotta face it
You're the wasted

6. Still Wild

Days are shorter, nights are long
I never looked back and I didn't reload
It takes my mind and I come undone
Stop, dead end, nowhere to run
A tear in my heart
And my eyes are open
Doors are locked and no one knows
Mother nature's son is gone
In this place, un-caged, unknown

Why pull the blankets over
While you've got the time to run
The beast is coming closer
Only fear what you've never known

(Still wild)
Outta control
As the animal's haunting my mind
And I'm
(Still wild)
Never felt more alive

Time still faster, I'm in darkness
Can't escape the path I'm on
Hate breeds deep inside, it's solace
Goes down burning like the sun
I hear the sounds of terror rising
Instinct tells me it's my call
The howl is sent, the hunt is mine to
Pass the curse to one and all

Why pull the blankets over
While you've got the time to run
The beast is coming closer
Only fear what you've never known

The monster calls you over
No way out and no way back
There's no escape to hold you
Only way out is to join the pack

(Still wild)
Outta control
As the animal's haunting your mind
Now you're
(Still wild)
The moon is full tonight
(Still wild)
Living this hell feels more like heaven inside
Now you're
(Still wild)
Never felt more alive

Why pull the blankets over
While you've got the time to run
The beast is coming closer
Only fear what you've never known

(Still wild)
Outta control
As the animal's haunting our minds
We are
(Still wild)
The moon is full tonight
We are
(Still wild)
Living this hell feels more like heaven inside
We are
(Still wild)
Never felt more alive

7. Make A Way

Shut out the backdoor
Stammned down the front
No discipline because
We do what we want
No disrespect ma'am
'Cause I don't give a damn
About it

Kick with crew for
6 days a week
We don't have a plan
To shake the leaves
From the trees
No disrespect and
No disagreeing
What's happening

We going out and on
Screaming like we all alone

Make a way
Don't need no instruction
To decide
Make a way, get your high
Make a way
Don't speak no conversation,
Be denied
Make a way, to survive

I got some friends
Who are looking for some action
Know what I mean?
Where the pavement
Meets the passion
Ain't got a damn thing to do today
Nobody's telling me off

We gonna roll what we got
Save some for later
Don't blow it away
'Fore you know
What you're made of
Push comes to coasting
Most of 'em know how to

Get it on
Like we are alone

Make a way
Don't need no institution
Get your high
Make a way
Don't speak no conversation
Make a way on to survive

8. Renegades

Line up all degenerates
Just to prove their innocence
In this the world we're born
To fall into?
Bow down like an animal
Scavenging to feed their rule
Feelings lost for fear
They'll take us all

Freedom comes
Not far away

Keep your violence
We won't fight it anyway
We stand silent
It's not our problem
Your reliance
Will fall down in disarray
And in silence
We're rising, renegades

We're marching on
Marching on
For the sake of heart
Together we stand
Never torn apart
Shreds of hope they are sewn to burn the light
Reign down, from the sky
Like meteors
Staring death in the eyes
You'll be feeling yours
Never ending
Never dying for a lie

Freedom comes
Not far away

Keep your violence
We won't fight it anyway
We stand silent
It's not our problem
Your reliance
Will fall down in disarray
And in silence
We're rising, renegades

9. The Road

Voices are calling me
I'm under the attack
Sounds like a memory
Feels like we just got back
I kiss my family
Before we're out the door again

We're running blind in the dark
We are together, apart

Cities and streets
Fading in the night
Colors and noise
In a rage of light
People we reach
Always come and go
Where everything becomes the road

Another aeroplane
40,000 miles
I can see your face
In the passing clouds
Unforgiving times
Always another show to play

We're running blind in the dark
We are together, at heart

Cities and streets
Fading in the night
Colors and noise
In a rage of light
People we reach
Always come and go
Where everything becomes the road

Cities and streets
Fading in the night
Colors and noise
In a rage of light
People we reach
Always come and go
Where everything becomes the road

10. Shame

Trip down where they're taking you now
Loss of all your sense of control
They'll crawl down on hands and knees
Beggars and thieves, believe
Believe

Misuse of punishment
To me is a waste
Come taste the shame

Promises don't matter at all
With the loss of all
Your sense of control

The entertainers kicked down, damned with the friends
The dream is never as real
As it seems to be

So lost inside your head
You're not the one to blame
Misuse of punishment
To me is a waste
Come taste the shame

Taste the shame
Waste away

Methods in madness
Got a hold on me
The truth will never
Be a guarantee
Sign up for fame
Trade pleasure with greed
Kicked off the upper class
Tough luck in a dream
Beggars and thieves believe
Believe

So lost inside your head
You're not the one to blame
Misuse of punishment
To me is a waste
Come taste the shame

11. Knock Em Down

We're never gonna stop
Go another round
They try to set us up
We knock 'em down
They wanna make us stop
Bring 'em back around
They try to set us up
We knock 'em down

Caught up in all of the day to day
Fed up with all that you've gotta say
Fuck it up and give up. You're all alone
Stand my ground where we belong

I don't believe it for what you want
Get out forget in this time you're wrong
Light up and let up and get away
Give it away get out of my face

They are lining up to get me
I'm a mess I'm a mess
But I'm locked and ready
They are going to fall like the rest

We're never gonna stop
Go another round
They try to set us up
We knock 'em down
They wanna make us stop
Bring 'em back around
They try to set us up
We knock 'em down

If they gonna, let 'em come and
Try to stop us hanging around
We knock 'em down
Huh!

I'm ready and waiting for what you got
Another level that I don't believe you want
When they unchained me
You're facing me in the eyes
Even the devil could never contain this fire

They're lining up to get me
I'm a mess I'm a mess
But I'm locked and ready
They are going to fall like the rest

We're never gonna stop
Go another round
They try to set us up
We knock 'em down
They wanna make us stop
Bring 'em back around
They try to set us up
We knock 'em down

If they gonna, let 'em come and
Try to stop us making a sound
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Get in back, the line is stretching,
All attacking all around
Well knock 'em...

While you are off in your head
We thought we'd give you what you wanted
Just to make you give up on it
Where we are going instead
We know some things are gonna change
But we will always be the same yeah

Wanna piece of me?
Get down with a lick on my guitar!

Caught up in all of the day to day
Fed up with all that you've gotta say
Fuck it up and give up. You're all alone
Stand my ground where we belong
Ya know that it's over
Your time is up
Surrender the ending the final drop
You never knew I was a warrior
The winner, forever victorious!

They're lining up to get me
I'm a mess I'm a mess
But unlocked and ready
They are going to fall like the rest

We're never gonna stop
Hit the final round
They try to set us up
We knock 'em down

They wanna make us stop
Bring 'em back around
They tried to set us up
We knock 'em down
