Our Lips Are Sealed
The Go-Go's Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They talk about us
Telling lies
Well, that's no surprise
Can you see them?
See right through them
They have no shield
It doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Our lips are sealed
There's a weapon
That we must use
In our defense
Silence reveals
When you look at them
Look right through them
That's when they'll disappear
That's when we'll be feared
It doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Our lips are sealed
Pay no mind to what they say
It doesn't matter anyway
Our lips are sealed
Hush, my darling
Don't you cry
Quiet, angel
Forget their lies
Can you hear them?
They talk about us
Telling lies
Well, that's no surprise
Can you see them?
See right through them
They have no shield
No secrets to reveal
It doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Our lips are sealed
Pay no mind to what they say
It doesn't matter anyway
Our lips are sealed
Our lips are sealed
Our lips are sealed

Yeah the wars, murders, drug wars, abuse of the weak, were so much kinder and softer back in the eighties.
@alvinpietzsch1534
@@markhenry6486 Hahaha right? Don't forget the explosion of AIDS, crack cocaine, unemployment AND the US replacing democratically elected presidents with dictators in Central and South America.
This song is great though. The Fun Boy Three version also.
