[Verse 1]
I'll never have a chance to say everything I want to say
But that's okay, I don't need to say a thing anyway
Just want to take it in, see the world, watch it spin
Learn to play the violin
I'll even try to shed any words from my head
Think in Mentalese instead
Don't call me on a telephone, I don't wanna be alone
But I have grown out of it, so leave a message at the tone
Just want to take it in, see the world, watch it spin
Learn to play the violin
I'll even try to shed any words from my head
Think in Mentalese instead
[Chorus]
And I'll take a vow of silence
Shut up, shut up, shut up
I'll take a vow of silence
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Shut up, shut up, shut up
I'll take a vow of—
[Verse 2]
Silence means that you can't speak
You can't let things out, they stay inside
You just sit and nod like a quiet freak
And you hold your tongue, and you swallow your pride
And if you're traveling down the street and suddenly witness a crime
You gotta keep it to yourself, you gotta keep it inside your quiet little mind
Until the end of time
And you've got to
Shut up, shut up, shut up (Seen and not heard)
Shut up, shut up, shut up (Not a single word)
Shut up, shut up, shut up (For the rest of your life)
Shut up, shut up, shut up
I'll never have a chance to say everything I want to say
But that's okay, I don't need to say a thing anyway
Just want to take it in, see the world, watch it spin
Learn to play the violin
I'll even try to shed any words from my head
Think in Mentalese instead
Don't call me on a telephone, I don't wanna be alone
But I have grown out of it, so leave a message at the tone
Just want to take it in, see the world, watch it spin
Learn to play the violin
I'll even try to shed any words from my head
Think in Mentalese instead
[Chorus]
And I'll take a vow of silence
Shut up, shut up, shut up
I'll take a vow of silence
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Shut up, shut up, shut up
I'll take a vow of—
[Verse 2]
Silence means that you can't speak
You can't let things out, they stay inside
You just sit and nod like a quiet freak
And you hold your tongue, and you swallow your pride

Shut up, shut up, shut up (Seen and not heard)
Shut up, shut up, shut up (Not a single word)
Shut up, shut up, shut up (For the rest of your life)
Shut up, shut up, shut up
