Shut Up
sgt.rock Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me tell you one thing
You cannot go on supressing
I'm a free and easy flyer
And I won't shut up
You cannot take away my freedom
Because a smart man cannot be dumb
Tell your lies another time
Because I won't shut up
I won't shut up
Masking your face
No emotional trace
In your sight
Building a wall
Many meters tall
But you can't hide
What do you want
Some kind of pleasure hunt
Ready to enslave all
And I won't shut up
And I won't shut up
And I won't shut up
And I won't shut up
No we won't shut up
No we won't shut up
No we won't shut up
No we won't shut up
I won't shut up
No I won't shut up




No I won't shut up
No I won't shut up
