Håll Käft
Håll Käft

Varför kan ni inte vara tysta?
Ni pratar hela tiden
(Idiot, du spela fel)
HÅLL KÄFT!

Jag tycker att ni ska hålla käft
Jag är så nedrans trött på erat prat

Vi är idioter varför lyssnar ni på oss

Jag tycker att ni ska hålla käft
Jag är så nedrans trött på erat prat

Håll käft
Håll käft

Jag tycker att ni ska hålla käft
Jag är så nedrans trött på erat prat

Jag behöver en gnutta lugn och ro
Varför kan ni inte bara hålla käft?
