Shout the Obvious

Off fifth
We're next to the alley
Suited jerk
With the pattern of velocity

Stamp your fingers
And your palms to make it worse,
Evaded Moments
Might as well be in a hearse

You kids
Who do you think you are?
Folded lies,
You keep lowering the bar.

Tried patience
One gets along without ,
Don't start fueling, cause...
"It makes me want to, shout!"

Cornered
Very close to Fifth
Went down, calmly
Sorry I can't support the myth...
             ...Shout!
