Lyrics

Shut Up

[Verse]

Got a reason to laugh

Got a reason to cry

Believing you're wise

And being so dumb

[Refrain]

World is so worried

World is so worried

[Chorus]

Be a liar everywhere

Shut up, don't cry!

Be a liar everywhere

Shut up, don't cry!

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse]

Got a reason to laugh

Got a reason to cry

Believing you're wise

And being so dumb

[Refrain]

World is so worried

World is so worried

[Chorus]

Be a liar everywhere

Shut up, don't cry!

Be a liar everywhere

Shut up, don't cry!
