Lyrics

Here come Mr. 'I ain't like that', Mr. 'You can count on me'.

Introducing someone who presents a facade of reliability and trustworthiness.

Here come evolution, walkin' with stupidity.

Highlighting the juxtaposition of evolution and foolishness in the same person.


Waste a' time, waste a' my time.

Expressing frustration with wasted time.

Give it up, lay it down, play the bottom line.

Encouraging giving up, being straightforward, and focusing on essential matters.

Waste a' time, waste a' prime time.

Reiterating the frustration with wasted prime time.

Hey! Let me shut that for you.

Sarcastically offering to close a metaphorical door on the nonsense.


There go no-one get over me, Mr. 'Not behind your back',

Describing someone who won't be easily overlooked, pretending not to talk behind others' backs.

Muthafucka got a larger than life, full a' shit, short a' fact.

Criticizing someone with a larger-than-life attitude, lacking substance.


There's a kind of hush all over the world... tonight,

Referencing a moment of quiet or secrecy globally.

All over the world, you can hear the sound.

Emphasizing a widespread sound all over the world.

Know what I mean?

Asking if the listener understands the point being made.


Sit down, and shut up.

Directing someone to sit down and be quiet.

Sit the fuck down, and shut the fuck up.

Intensifying the directive to be silent with explicit language.


Stoop muthafucka gettin' under my skin.

Expressing irritation with someone who annoys and irritates.

Runnin' away with that mouth again,

Accusing someone of talking excessively and without substance.

Ah ah ah got nothin' better to do,

Mocking someone for having nothing better to do than talk.

S.M.F. let me shut that for you!

Referencing the band's fans (S.M.F.) and sarcastically offering to silence the chatter.


Waste a' time, waste a' my time.

Reiterating frustration with wasted time.

Give it up, lay it down, play the bottom line.

Re-emphasizing the importance of focusing on essential matters.

Waste a' time, waste a' prime time.

Reiterating frustration with wasted prime time.

Hey! Shut the fuck up!

Using explicit language to demand immediate silence.
