Taking It Out and Chopping It Up

I understand that you couldn't take it, couldn't take it anymore

I understand that you had your problems

Maybe more than I saw

But when you got on a plane that day

You lost all your privileges with me

'Cause I heard so many things

Thought we parted, thought we parted peacefully

Then you got home

Opened your mouth and said all those stupid things

You even mouthed off to my friends

That's why I'm saying

Come on, come on, shut up, shut up

I hope this song will shut you up

Come on, come on, shut up, shut up

I appreciate all the work that, all the work that you put in

And we care so much about you and hope that all your problems end

But all the foolish things you said

Do you know, we never said a thing

We held it in, so go take your medicine

And smoke yourself to sleep

'Cause you got home

Opened your mouth and said all those stupid things

You even mouthed off to my friends

That's why I'm saying

Come on, come on, shut up, shut up

I hope this song will shut you up

Come on, come on, shut up, shut up

And all the things I could say

The ammunition, the arsenal of words

And it's been so long now, all the questions

And out of respect, I kept my mouth shut!

Come on, come on, shut up, shut up

I hope this song will shut you up

Come on, come on, shut up, shut up

Come on, come on, shut up, shut up

Or I'll get Phil to shut you up

Come on, come on, shut up, shut up
