Shut Up Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
"Shut the fuck up", she said, "I'm going fucking deaf
You're always too loud, everything's too loud
Now that all my friends left, this place is fucking dead
I wanna move out, when can we move out?"

[Interlude: Mark Hoppus]
This shit has gotta stop
I'll run away...

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]
"Get the fuck up", she said, "your life is meaningless
It's going nowhere, you're going nowhere
You're just a fuck up", she said, "I'll live alone instead"
She said, "you don't care", I know, I don't care

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
I'll never ask permission from you
Fuck off, I'm not listening to you
I'm not coming home
I'm never going to come back home

[Verse 3: Mark Hoppus]
I got too fucked up again and passed out on the plane
Tried to forget you, I can't forget you
Now sleep on this flight, I'll think about the nights
We had to get through, I didn't get you

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
I'll never ask permission from you
Fuck off, I'm not listening to you
I'm not coming home
I'm never going to come back home

[Post-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
I'll run away...

[Bridge: Mark Hoppus]
I think it's time that I should leave
I think it's time that I should leave
I think it's time that I should leave
I think it's time that I should leave

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
I'll never ask permission from you
Fuck off, I'm not listening to you
I'm not coming home
I'm never going to come back home

[Outro: Mark Hoppus]
(I'll run away) I think it's time for me to leave
(I'll run away) I think it's time for me to leave
(I'll run away) I think it's time for me to leave
(I'll run away) I think it's time for me to leave

Throughout life, people will try to control you, tell you how you should live, what you should think, how you should act. This is my message to those people. Like Bad Religion says: ‘Everybody knows what’s best for you.’
