Garbage - 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, he 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 fucking 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.
Just shut your mouth.

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, and make a shitload...

And the world spins by with everybody moaning,
Pissing, bitching and everyone is shitting:
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.
