I'll only ask you once more
You only want to believe
This man is looking for someone to hold his hand.
He doesn't quite fully understand the meaning.
Never heard about Oscar Wilde,
Never talked about Brendan Behan,
Never think about Sean O'Casey,
Don't care about George Bernard Shaw
Don't care about Samuel Beckett,
Won't talk about Eugene O'Neil,
Edna O'Brien and Lawrence Stern.
Huh!
Shut it - you don't understand it,
Shut it - that's not the way I planned it,
Shut it - shut your mouth til you know the truth
I'll only ask you once more
It must be so hard to see
This man is waiting for someone to hold him down
He don't quite ever understand the meaning
Shut it - you don't understand it,
Shut it - that's not the way I planned it,
Shut it - shut your fucking mouth til you know the truth
(instrumental)
Won't think about Oscar Wilde,
Don't know about Brendan Behan,
Can't think about Sean O'Casey,
Woooaaaaaaaaaaaah George Bernard Shaw,
Can't talk about Samuel Beckett,
Doesn't talk about Eugene O'Neil,
Won't think about Edna O'Brien
Can't think about Lawrence Stern.
Oscar Wilde, Brendan Behan, Sean O'Casey, George Bernard Shaw,
Samuel Beckett, Eugene O'Neil, Edna O'Brien and Lawrence Stern.
(repeat and fade)
