Don't Preach to Me
Silencing Celebrity Sermons: Street Dogs Unleash Anthem Against Self-Righteousness
Lyrics
Take your soapbox rants and your politics
Rejecting someone's outspoken political opinions and speeches
Stick them where the sun don't shine
Advocating for disregarding those opinions completely
Won't solicit your advice
Refusing to accept advice or guidance
You're on the red carpet
Describing someone behaving as if they are special or important
Espousing your opinions
Expressing opinions openly and often
Why can't you just shut your mouth
Questioning why someone can't keep quiet
Don't tell us how to feel
Asking not to be instructed on emotions or beliefs
Don't preach to me, I cannot hear you
Requesting not to be lectured
Don't preach to me, we really won't care
Stating a lack of interest in the preaching
Don't preach to me, you're so self-righteous
Labeling someone as overly righteous and moralizing
You're a celebrity
Referring to someone as a famous figure
They wear views on their sleeves
People openly displaying their opinions
Thinking that it counts
Believing that expressing opinions matters
But we have minds of our own
Asserting individuality of thought
Sarandon shut your mouth
Asking a specific celebrity to stay silent
Just stick to the acting
Suggesting a celebrity stick to their profession
Films and TV shows
Indicating what entertainment consumers prefer
Give us time to think for ourselves
Requesting time for personal contemplation
Please give us that much
Asking for space to form independent thoughts
Yet these stars don't get it
Noting a disconnect between celebrities and the public
We have minds of our own
Reiterating the ability to think independently
We're capable of opinions
Claiming the capacity for personal viewpoints
Madonna hit the road
Directing a famous figure to leave or stop speaking
Don't preach to me, we're not backin' you
Declaring a lack of support for the preaching
Don't preach to me, we really won't care
Reinforcing disinterest in the preached ideas
Don't preach to me, you're so self-righteous
Repeating the characterization of moral superiority
You're a celebrity
Reiterating someone's status as a well-known figure
