All Over But The Shouting - Overkill

Once upon a time

When you had us all in line

Thought that we would never learn

The word out on the street

Was you never felt the heat

Even when the fires burned

Then the dogs of war

Barking at your door

Is this what it’s all about?

So we broke the deal

It’s how it made us feel

Drummer started on the shout

Heard a thousand drummers on a solitary light

Heat of a thousand summers explode into the night

They hid behind the curtains, their faces were concealed

A voice above the ashes screamed

I want to make a deal

I’m back on my heels

Hell raising, drums blazing

All over but the shouting now

Hell raising, drums blazing

Careful what you wish for, you may get it now

Hell raising, drums blazing

All over but the shouting now

The look upon your face

When we blew it into space

And let the pieces fall about

Destruction on the ground

The heart of freedom found

In a voice could only shout

The pain would go away

The pride inside would stay

The blood is dripping you’re alive

The ones that stood and fell

Were all remembered well

The cross of an animal 5

Cold calculation got them to fall into line

Annihilation, got them working the shine

They scream and shout

All over but the

Beat generation in a room full of war

Evacuation as the stones hit the door

They want out, all over but the shout

So, once upon a time

When we lit the line

Thought that we would never learn

The word out on the street

They melted in the heat

Even when the fires burned

Then the dogs of war

Scratching at your door

Is it what it’s all about?

So we broke the deal

For everything you steal

We start the drummer on the shout
