STFU

by James Hyland

 

You been going on for hours

like we should be throwing flowers

Down at your feet

 

You ain’t done much

but sound out of touch

Kindly sir, please take your seat.

 

Who gave this guy a mic?

He just keeps starting fights.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

 

He’s killing our buzz,

with everything he does.

Has it really gotta be me to stand up and say,

 

Could you shut the fuck up?

You’ve been going on too long

Shut the fuck up

The rest of us seem to be getting along.

 

Shut the fuck up

Put a beer in your hand

Dude shut up,

for love of God man give it up

I can’t hear the band

 

We get it by now,

only you know how

to turn this ship around

 

but you’re the one in charge

of this free-floating barge

hey asshole, looks like we’re going down

 

You talk, you talk some more

We’re all at peace

You’re serving up war

 

Nothing’s gonna do,

There’s no getting through to you

but I’ve got a song to rejoice

 

I got a bright spotlight

and a real loud mic

but all I hear is your fucking voice

 

Could you please shut the fuck up?

You’ve been going on too long

Shut the fuck up

The rest of us seem to be getting along.

 

Shut the fuck up

Put a joint in your hand

Dude shut up,

for love of God man give it up

I can’t hear the band

 

Dude shut up,

for love of God man give it up

I can’t hear the band
