lyrics

Shut your mouth and tell me what I want to hear
We don’t want to cloud our children’s future with fear
Use your words sparingly, I’m tired of you desparingly
Telling me what you think I oughta know

Why don’t you go back inside Jeremiah?
If you don’t want to die-ah
You better learn what is good for you
If you remember Isaiah
He wouldn’t be quiet and it got him sawn in two
Why dont you go back inside?
You’re really hurting my pride


I'm tired of your negative energy, i think it stems from identity,
you think you’ve got something to say.
If you think yourself so righteous
Hear my advice it’s, “shut your mouth go and pray”

So shut your mouth and tell me what I want to hear.
Clearly you’re jealous of all of your peers.
What they say is beautiful. But your words are unusual.
Why don’t you just give it a rest?

You’ve got to much on your chest Jeremiah
No reason to cry-ah
Everything is going to be okay.
Don’t you know who we are?
Trouble’s sure to be far
Hasn’t the debt already been paid?
Take off your cynical shades
Your words are hurting like blades

But tell me what’s the reason, swift & swallow know their season
But men don’t know the judgment of the Lord
You had me for a minute, but you really oughta quit it
Your doom and gloom is making me bored

Therefore I am full of the fury of the Lord. I am weary of holding it in
Why do the treachorous seem to be so happy to me, happy to me?
You have planted them they have taken root
They grow, yes, they bear fruit.
You are near in their mouth but far from their mind
You are just when You judge it’s just a matter of time
"Hopeless!" They shout are the words from your mouth
I’ll just do my own thing
But I won’t be the one that you answer to at the coming of the King
