Don't Shout Lyrics

Old school town, you were born and raised

Rarely do you see an unfamiliar kind of face

They tell you who to be, they tell you who to avoid

But they never seem to teach you how to block out all the noise

There's no need to shout, unless what's in front of me

Is trying to avoid a predetermined destiny

We lost what it's about and it's uninspiring

The truth is tough, they can't get enough

Of stealing other people's dreams

Surrounded by giants and nobody understands

Playing for a living when you're on the shepherd's land

Twenty some odd years just trying to make a name

Parasites around you wanna take that all away

Don't let them in to close, they'll lie right through their teeth

Wrap you up tight in that nasty web that they weave

You can kick scream and shout (shout)

But boy you best believe

They don't give a damn about your plan

Or who it is you wanna be
