The Argument Song. A song about having a disagreement and when to stop bickering.
Just wanted to explore an argument in a song.
Shut Up Already
Pat Thompson 01/29/07
I’m just about tired of you tonight
I don’t want to argue, Don’t want to fight
It doesn’t matter anymore who’s wrong or who’s right
We should just roll over and turn out the light
It started with some words we don’t even recall
A little trickle turns into a waterfall
Nothing comes out right about anything at all
The game is really over, but you can’t make the call
Why should we yell? It’ll only make it worse
When you fight from pride, it’s the hard-headed curse
(Chorus)
Shut up already
I don’t want to hear it
Shut up already
And I’ll take my own advice
Shut up already
Cause we are getting nowhere
Maybe in the morning we can make it right
It’s the same old thing said in a different way
You don’t know how to put it, but you’re gonna have your say
When the tears start to flow, you have your power play
Now’s the time to choose to stay or walk away
Why should we yell? It’ll only make it worse
When you fight from pride, it’s the hard-headed curse
(Chorus)
Shut up already
I don’t want to hear it
Shut up already
And I’ll take my own advice
Shut up already
Cause we are getting nowhere
Maybe in the morning we can make it right
Pride is the enemy of peaceful resolution
All you really want is a mutual conclusion
Sometimes the finale is nothing but illusion
Why is it so hard to find a permanent solution
Do you try to really find the root of the matter?
Or is it pointless now and only idle chatter?
Either war or peace, and if you choose the latter
Sincerity is what you need before your chances scatter
Shut up already
I don’t want to hear it
Shut up already
And I’ll take my own advice
Shut up already
Cause we are getting nowhere
Maybe in the morning we can make it right
