Shut Up
Silencing the One-Eyed Wisdom: A Musical Take on Ignorance
Lyrics
You speak 'bout what you mind
You express what's on your mind
I just listen
I simply listen without interrupting
You speak 'bout what you mind
You express what's on your mind
I pay attention to what you say
I pay close attention to your words
And sometimes I gotta´try x3
Sometimes, I have to make an effort not to burst out laughing in response
Not to laugh in your face!
To avoid laughing directly at you
I try to understand
I attempt to comprehend
How come you know it all?
How do you believe you have all the answers?
Then I realize
But then I realize
You´re such a fucking jerk
You're behaving in a disrespectful manner
And sometimes I got to try x3
There are times I struggle not to laugh in response
Not to laugh in your face!
To avoid showing my amusement directly
You speak, you fail
Your expressions end up in failure
You talk you're wrong
Your speech often turns out to be incorrect
Why don't you just shut up?
Why don't you stop speaking?
I speak 'bout what I mind
I express my thoughts honestly
But you don't give a shit
But you show no interest or concern
I try to explain
I attempt to clarify
but you know it all
But you believe you already know everything
And sometimes I gotta´try
At times, I have to make an effort
Not to laugh in your face!
To refrain from laughing at your face
You speak, you fail
Your expressions lead to failure
You talk you're wrong
Your speech often proves to be incorrect
Why don't you just shut up?
Why don't you stop speaking?
'Cos in the land of the blind
Because in a place where people lack understanding
the one-eyed man is the king
The person with even a little knowledge appears superior
