Shut Up Your Mouth
[Intro]
Wheeeeee!

[Verse 1]
Green lights stare, we’re beyond compare
Without the nitro spice we’re the renaissance fair
We don’t want no flack from the eyes in back
Another dream turns up into a nightmare black

[Chorus]
Never say “television” on television
Never never say “read my book” in a book
Never ever say anything out of left field
When the back eyes got you like a worm on a hook
They say I’m in the river but I gotta beg to differ
‘Cause I don’t know how to swim, no, but I’m in limbo
They tell me how to shut it like a silly little puppet
Not another word, calling bird, too absurd, no one heard!
(Oh, shut up your mouth!)
(Dad? What? Dad? What?! Dad? WHAT?!)
(Inconceivable!)
(You filthy animal!)

[Verse 2]
Where’s my coffee when I need it most?
What if the car pool beeps before I eat my toast?
How many scrambled eggs are in your scrambled mind
They’re little scrambled soldiers in a scrambled line
You don’t even know why people have to lie
And you don’t even know what’s going on in the sky
But you never look down, and you block out the sound
Of your cheap black shoes as they touch the ground
[Bridge]
I don’t wanna see another vending machine
And I don’t wanna be the person with the face obscene
Why don’t you read my palm, am I due for a bomb
Or am I peachy as a bullet down in Vietnam
(Oh, shut up your mouth!)
(Dad? What? Dad? What?! Dad? WHAT?!)
(Inconcievable!)
(Y-y, y-y, y-y, y-y, y-y, y-y, y-y-y-you filthy animal!)

[Verse 3]
Red lights stare, now we’re up in the air
Without a kite, no strings, fair isn’t so fair
We don’t want no flack, we don’t want no flack
It’s either fight all night or join the nightmare pack

[Chorus]
Never say “television” on television
Never never say “read my book” in a book
Never ever say anything out of left field
When the back eyes got you like a worm on a hook
They say I’m in the river but I gotta beg to differ
‘Cause I don’t know how to swim, no, but I’m in limbo
They tell me how to shut it like a silly little puppet
Not another word, calling bird, too absurd, nobody heard
[Outro]
(Oh, shut up your mouth!)
(Inconcievable!)
(Dad? What? Dad? What?! Dad? WHAT?!)
(Inconcievable!)
(Oh, shut up your mouth!)
(Inconcievable!)
(Dad? What? Dad? What?! Dad? WH-WH-WH-WH-WH-WH-WH-WH)
(Inconcievable!)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no (Oh, shut up your mouth!) (Inconcievable!)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no (Dad? What? Dad? What?! Dad? WHAT?!) (Inconcievable!)
(Oh, shut up your-
Oh, shut up your-
Oh, shut up your mouth!)
