Shut Your Mouth And Open Your Mind |
| Whoa… |
| I’ve been watchin' your performance since I was just a boy |
| You’re so diplomatic and you’re actin' so coy |
| I see you on the TV at night when I’m in bed |
| Can a blind man understand the color red? |
| I see you at the podium, how gracefully you sway |
| You’re talkin' real clear, but are you hearin' what you say? |
| Your lips keep movin', talkin' as you walk |
| But everybody knows you’re not walkin' what you talk |
| I see you eating out, I don’t mean to be rude |
| But you’re so busy readin' menus, you forgot to order food |
| You’re livin' in the image of a long-forgotten dream |
| You’re actin' out the action of a bad movie scene |
| Your campaign slogan says you want to make a change |
| You want to help the hungry and the mentally deranged |
| Stop being arrogant, get down off your shelf |
| 'Cause you can’t help no one if you can’t help yourself. |
| Shut your mouth and open your mind (Steppin' on your own shoes, steppin' on |
| your own shoes) |
| Shut your mouth and open your mind |
| Shut your mouth and open your mind (Steppin' on your own shoes, steppin' on |
| your own shoes) |
| Shut your mouth and open your mind |
| I’m tellin' you yeah, whoa |
| I’m tellin' you yeah, whoa |
| I’m tellin' you yeah, whoa |
| I’m tellin' you yeah, whoa |
| You pretend that you listen, you don’t hear what we say |
| You’re so far from the truth you can’t see the light of day |
| You messed up your mind, 'cause you took the easy road |
| And actin' understanding only made you grow old |
| I wish I’d like to tell you the things I wanna say |
| But first you gotta chip out the lies in your way |
| There’s too many like you, and no matter what you say |
| Whoever wrote the lines forgot to throw them away. |
| I’d really like to tell you what you don’t wanna hear, man |
| Everything you’re living for is grounded in fear. |
| As long as you keep talkin' up the side of your neck |
| You’ll never understand why your life is a wreck. |
| Just listen to the song, that’s as close as you’ll get |
| You’ll get, to any sense of hope to get your soul out of debt. |
| It effectively elaborates the pattern that you weave, |
| We all see the ace that you keep up your sleeve. |
| Shut your mouth and open your mind (Easy does it boys, he just lost his mind) |
| Shut your mouth and open your mind (Check it out boys, he’s just hard to find) |
| Shut your mouth and open your mind (Take it easy boys, he don’t know what he’s |
| sayin') |
| Shut your mouth and open your mind (Easy does it boys, get down.) |
| I’m tellin' you yeah, whoa (Steppin' on your own shoes, steppin' on your own |
| shoes) |
| I’m tellin' you yeah, whoa |
| I’m tellin' you yeah, whoa (Steppin' on your own shoes, steppin' on your own |
| shoes) |
| I’m tellin' you yeah, whoa |
| I’m tellin' you yeah, whoa (Shut your mouth and open your mind, easy does it |
| boys, he just lost his mind) |
| I’m tellin' you yeah, whoa (Check it, check it, check it out boys) |
| I see you at the podium, how gracefully you sway |
| You’re talkin' real clear, but are you hearin' what you say? |
| Your lips keep movin', talkin' as you walk |
| But everybody knows you’re not walkin' what you talk |
| I’m tellin' you yeah, whoa (Shut your mouth and open your mind, steppin' on |
| your own shoes, steppin' on your own shoes) |
| I’m tellin' you yeah, whoa (Shut your mouth and open your mind) |
| I’m tellin' you yeah, whoa (Shut your mouth and open your mind, steppin' on |
| your own shoes, steppin' on your own shoes) |
| I’m tellin' you yeah, whoa (Shut your mouth and open your mind) |
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. |
