The Mouth Don't Stop
Fear Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bout a women and her non-stop yap
In a couple weeks she'll be stewing
Bait the hook of a tender trap
Spend your money on (countless reasons)
Brick-a-brack that cannot be used
Snivel on the ground (that she walks on)
Give an inch and the women want two
The trouble today with women
The mouth don't stop
There's an older one yakity-yackin
Husband's credit cards let her shop
There's a younger one gums keep flappin'
Will the jawbone never stop
There's an ugly one (she needs screwin'!)
Never in your life (no not me!)
There's a pretty one (always talkin!)
Will the women's mouth never cease
The trouble today with women
Yeeeah
The mouth don't stop
The mouth don't stop
The mouth don't stop
Yeah the mouth don't stop
There's an older one yakity-yackin
Husband's credit cards let her shop
There's a younger one gums keep flappin'
Will the jawbone never stop
There's an ugly one (she needs screwin'!)
Never in your life (no not me!)
There's a pretty one (always talkin!)
Will the women's mouth never cease
The mouth don't stop
The mouth don't stop
The mouth don't stop
Oh the mouth don't stop
The opening lyrics to Fear's song "The Mouth Don't Stop" introduce a sinister tone surrounding a woman who talks incessantly. The singer predicts that soon this woman will be "stewing" in her own problems, falling into a trap of her own making. The lyrics go on to describe various types of women, each with her own negative qualities - an older woman who talks about shopping with her husband's credit cards, a younger woman with an unending jawbone, an ugly woman who supposedly needs sex, and a pretty woman who always talks.
These lyrics are a commentary on the misogyny and sexism often directed at women who dare to speak their minds. The song implies that women who talk too much, regardless of their other qualities, are annoying and a burden to men. This message is further reinforced by the repetition of the phrase "The mouth don't stop" throughout the song, presenting the idea that women's speech is a neverending problem.
Overall, Fear's "The Mouth Don't Stop" is a biting critique of the way society views women and their right to speak.
