Disturbed Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shout shout let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on I'm talking to you come on
Shout shout let it all out

These are the things I can do without
Come on I'm talking to you come on
In violent times you shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white they really really ought to know

Those one track minds that took you for a working boy
Kiss them goodbye you shouldn't have to jump for joy
You shouldn't have to jump for joy, you shouldn't have to shout for joy
Shout, shout, let it all out

These are the things I can do without
Come one, I'm talking to you, come on
They gave you life
And in return you gave them hell

As cold as ice
I hope we live to tell the tale
I hope we live to tell the tale
Shout, shout, let it all out

These are the things I can do without
Come on, I'm talking to you, come on
Will you never shout
I feel as though you're never gonna let it all out

Will you never shout'
I feel as though I know
you're never gonna let it all out
Will you never shout'

I feel as though I know you're never gonna let it
And when you've taken down your guard
If I could change your mind
I'd really love to break your heart

I'd really love to break your heart
I'd really love to
Shout, shout, let it all out
These are the things I can do without

Come on, I'm talking to you, come on
I'd really love to
Shout, shout, let it all out
These are the things I can do without





Come on, I'm talking to you, come on

Shout shout let it all out
Express yourself, let out all your feelings


These are the things I can do without
There are certain things in life that I don't need


Come on I'm talking to you come on
Listen to what I have to say, pay attention


In violent times you shouldn't have to sell your soul
During difficult and turbulent times, you shouldn't have to compromise your values and beliefs


In black and white they really really ought to know
It's obvious and clear, everyone should understand


Those one track minds that took you for a working boy
Those narrow-minded people who saw you only as someone to work for them

Say goodbye to them, you shouldn't have to be overly happy about leaving


You shouldn't have to jump for joy, you shouldn't have to shout for joy

Your parents brought you into this world


And in return you gave them hell
You rebelled against them or caused trouble for them


As cold as ice
Very cold and unfeeling


I hope we live to tell the tale
I hope we survive to tell the story of what happened


Will you never shout
Will you never express yourself fully and honestly


I feel as though you're never gonna let it all out
I feel like you're holding back and not expressing yourself fully


And when you've taken down your guard
When you let down your defenses


If I could change your mind
If I could get you to see things differently


I'd really love to break your heart
I would really like to make you feel the pain that you are causing others


Shout, shout, let it all out
Express yourself completely and freely


Come on, I'm talking to you, come on
Listen to me, pay attention to what I'm saying

@austingrace1

Used to borrow this CD from my step dad back in the days to listen to this cover, Voices, the sickness and the game. But fell in love with the entire album as a result. I'd spend countless nights just letting this masterpiece of an album spin in my boombox and loved every second!!!!!!
