Keep It Shut Songtext
von Time Flies

How many times have you made the joke?
How many times have you been hurt?
Too many times, your friends got the last laugh
It′s really not funny, makes your friends feel like crap
There comes a time when a joke's gone too far
And I think it sucks

We′ve got to understand how humor and actions can hurt
The people, people that we call friends
So now you laugh, but you know it comes back around to you

It's really not funny when we all sit around
Laughing at what would rather bring each other down
Is a friendship really friendship? Is a friendship just a joke?
If a friendship is a joke, I'd rather be alone
Respect


We′ve got to understand how humor and actions can hurt
The people, people that we call friends
So now you laugh, but you know it comes back around to you
You′ll wish you'd kept your mouth shut

Let′s draw the line and stop the trend
Where respect and friendship must go hand in hand
How we warn one another should make us all
'Cause when the joke′s not funny
Will you take it back? (Keep it shut)
It's not worth the effort, it′s not worth the time
If you're thinking of comebacks, then
Guy, you're telling lies (Keep it shut)
It′s really hurt when you feel like a jerk
′Cause it wasn't that funny, but you can′t take it back
So why not just keep your mouth shut? (Keep it shut)
