Silence Is Golden But Duct Tape Is Silver Lyrics
Me and Billy like to sleep all day
On the floors where we decay
Mohawks in disarray
From Cutleridge to motherfucking Biscayne Bay
The gangs tried to kill us but we wouldn't
take flight
Brass knuckles and rusty knives
Keep the wolves at bay
And we play in traffic downtown
Turn it up and take me away
What do you do when there's nowhere to go?
Empty pools and punk rock shows
After that nobody knows
And the sun goes down and the streetlights glow
We rolled through the city in a bucket of rust
With the punk rock south bay girls screaming lyrics at us
From the backseat kicking up dust
To the sound of the only people we can trust
Out of control and you've shivered my timbers
I'm all fucked up, the moon's just a sliver
Silence is golden but duct tape is silver
Like the lining of the clouds that conceal the killers
The streets aren't safe when the winds start blowing
In the eye of the storm the blood starts flowing
We're gathering bricks and we're gonna start throwing them at you
We'll throw them at you
The streets aren't safe when the winds start blowing
In the eye of the storm the blood starts flowing
We're gathering bricks and we're gonna start throwing them at you
We'll throw them at you
Me and Billy like to sleep all day
On the floors where we decay
Mohawks in disarray
From Cutleridge to motherfucking Biscayne Bay
The gangs tried to kill us but we wouldn't take flight
Brass knuckles and rusty knives
Keep the wolves at bay
And we play in traffic downtown
Turn it up and take me away
What do you do when there's nowhere to go?
Empty pools and punk rock shows
After that nobody knows
And the sun goes down and the streetlights glow
Out of control and you've shivered my timbers
I'm all fucked up, the moon's just a sliver
Silence is golden but duct tape is silver
Like the lining of the clouds that conceal the killers
The streets aren't safe when the winds start blowing
In the eye of the storm the blood starts flowing
We're gathering bricks and we're gonna start throwing them at you
We'll throw them at you
The streets aren't safe when the winds start blowing
In the eye of the storm the blood starts flowing
We're gathering bricks and we're gonna start throwing them at you
We'll throw them at you
Kick us when we're down
We're not going away
We're the stray dogs that chase you
The ones you betray
We run wild through the streets
And sleep with the decay
Of all that you have left us
Life in disarray
Out of control
And you've shivered my timbers
Tell us to shut up
And we'll give you the finger
Yeah silence is golden
But duct tape is silver
Obey
On the floors where we decay
Mohawks in disarray
From Cutleridge to motherfucking Biscayne Bay
take flight
Brass knuckles and rusty knives
Keep the wolves at bay
And we play in traffic downtown
Turn it up and take me away
Empty pools and punk rock shows
After that nobody knows
And the sun goes down and the streetlights glow
With the punk rock south bay girls screaming lyrics at us
From the backseat kicking up dust
To the sound of the only people we can trust
I'm all fucked up, the moon's just a sliver
Silence is golden but duct tape is silver
Like the lining of the clouds that conceal the killers
In the eye of the storm the blood starts flowing
We're gathering bricks and we're gonna start throwing them at you
We'll throw them at you
In the eye of the storm the blood starts flowing
We're gathering bricks and we're gonna start throwing them at you
We'll throw them at you
On the floors where we decay
Mohawks in disarray
From Cutleridge to motherfucking Biscayne Bay
Brass knuckles and rusty knives
Keep the wolves at bay
And we play in traffic downtown
Turn it up and take me away
Empty pools and punk rock shows
After that nobody knows
And the sun goes down and the streetlights glow
I'm all fucked up, the moon's just a sliver
Silence is golden but duct tape is silver
Like the lining of the clouds that conceal the killers
In the eye of the storm the blood starts flowing
We're gathering bricks and we're gonna start throwing them at you
We'll throw them at you
In the eye of the storm the blood starts flowing
We're gathering bricks and we're gonna start throwing them at you
We'll throw them at you
We're not going away
We're the stray dogs that chase you
The ones you betray
And sleep with the decay
Of all that you have left us
Life in disarray
And you've shivered my timbers
Tell us to shut up
And we'll give you the finger
But duct tape is silver
Obey

i think this song is about the ultimate life. where you kick back with your punk buddies and have the good times. when the system try to skrew you. riot. and when gangs try to take you out. stand your ground.
i agree. i love this song. it's about living the good life, just chilling with all your friends, going crazy and having an amazing time. just saying a big "fuck you" to the system.
I dont think this song is about chillin', at all. It's full of references to poverty and street life, as well as gang fighting and maybe cops?
