Shut up Keep your mouth shut Better to be thought a fool than proven one Well I’m a fool I say what I think Not always in a good way But most of the time my thoughts can make leaps and bounds taller than sky scrapers And yet the always told me stay quiet So I never say much of anything Except for when I sleep Sleep is the uncontrollable speech that rings in my head Over and over Day in day out I talk in my sleep so when I wake up I don’t have anything to say I want to go to sleep So that I can stay quiet But sometimes I need to be heard So hear me when I say Shut up if you’re gonna be a fool.
