Songtexte All over but the Shouting - Overkill

Once upon a time
When you had us all in line
Thought that we would never learn
Worn out on the street
We never felt the heat
Even when the fires burned
Then the dogs of war
Barking at your door
Is it what it's all about?
So, we broke the deal
It's how they made us feel
Drummer started on a shout
On a shout
On a shout

Heard a thousand drummers
On a solitary light
Heat of a thousand summers
Exploded through the night
They hid behind the curtains
Their faces were concealed
A voice above the ashes screamed
"I want to make a deal
I want to make a deal
I want to make a deal"

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
Was blown into space
Let the pieces fall about
Destruction on the ground
The heart of freedom found
In a voice that only shouts
The pain would go away
The proudest I would say
The blood is dripping, you're alive
The ones that stood and fell
Were all remembered well
The cries of an animal
Animal, animal fight

Heard a thousand drummers
On a solitary light
Heat of a thousand summers
Exploded through the night
They hid behind the curtains
Their faces were concealed
A voice above the ashes screamed
"I want to make a deal
I want to make a deal
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

Cold calculation
Got them falling into line
Annihilation
Got them working the shine
They scream and shout
All over, but the... shout
De-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 lived a lie
Thought that we would never learn
Worn out on the street
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
So, we broke the deal
Drummer started on a shout

Heard a thousand drummers
On a solitary light
Heat of a thousand summers
Exploded through the night
They hid behind the curtains
Their faces were concealed
A voice above the ashes screamed
"I want to make a deal
I want to make a deal
Back on my heels
I want to make a deal"

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

Make me a deal
