Nice Doesn’t Make Any Noise

you gotta be kidding, you want me to be nice
back up buddy, let me give you advice
you ever see a mouse bein’ nice to a cat
you ain’t gonna make it like that

nice doesn’t make any waves
nice doesn’t move any mountains
nice doesn’t make any noise
let’s make some noise

its time to tear down that pompous facade
that rotten racket, that house of fraud
chains don’t break because you ask them to to
i’m making a fist, how about you?

nice doesn’t make any waves
nice doesn’t move any mountains
nice doesn’t make any noise
let’s make some noise

hand me that wrench, let’s take turns
see if we can open this can of worms
let’s make some plans, draw some straws
and if we have to, let’s break some laws

nice doesn’t make any waves
nice doesn’t move any mountains
nice doesn’t make any noise
let’s make some noise

(bridge)
i see the future looking back in disgust
their whole world is depending on us
we can’t let them down
so let’s get it together and go downtown

fightin’ fire with fire don’t make any sense
you gotta use water in the present tense
not the nice kind of water where the rich folk swim
but the fiery kind that you drown in
the kind that rises up to be
a tsunami of humanity
a wave across the finish line
and it’s about time

nice doesn’t make any waves
nice doesn’t move any mountains
nice doesn’t make any noise
let’s make some noise
