Garbage › Lyrics › Shut Your Mouth

Welcome, we love you, we hate you
We love you, we want you, we need you
We wish we were like you
They say you're a saint
You're a whore, you're a sinner
That he had you, made you
He can't live without you

Would you confess if we asked
That you nurture the urge
To declare that it's time
To settle down with a man of your own
You want a baby, a family
A piece of security

Shut your mouth, try not to panic
Just shut your mouth, if you can do it
Shut your mouth, try not to panic
Just shut your mouth, if you can do it
Just shut your mouth

What's your opinion of the dire situation
In our land here, our guest here
Of course, you'll be nice here
How do you feel about God and religion
Are you good people, bad people
Guess it doesn't matter, people

Your place, my place
Make her bring that famous face
You got some, you want some
You wanna let me get you some
We know your music but of course we'd never buy it
It's too fake man, right man, we don't give a f****** damn

Shut your mouth, try not to panic
Just shut your mouth, if you can do it
Shut your mouth, try not to panic
Just shut your mouth, if you can do it

I hear you say it, play it smart girl, win the game love
Give 'em what they want, what they want to see and
You could be a big star, you could go far, make a landmark
What have you been reading, you smart girl? Win the game love
Give 'em what they want, what they want to see and
You could be a big star, you could go far
Make a landmark, make a s*** load

And the world spins by, with everybody moaning
Pissing, bitching and everyone is s*******
On their friends, on their love
On their oaths, on their honor
On their graves, on their mouths
And their words say nothing

Shut your mouth, try not to panic
Just shut your mouth, if you can do it
Shut your mouth, try not to panic
Just shut your mouth, if you can do it
Just shut your mouth

I wanted to say something
(Oh shut your mouth)
I wanted to say something
(Just shut your mouth)
I wanted to say something
(Oh shut your mouth)
I wanted to be something
(Just shut your mouth)
