Lyrics
I'll only ask you once more
You only want to believe
This man is lookin' for someone to hold him down
He doesn't yet fully understand the meaning
Never heard about (Oscar Wilde)
I don't know about (And Brendan Behan)
I don't think about (Shaun O'Casey)
I don't care about (George Bernard Shaw)
Oh (Samuel Beckett)
Won't talk about (Gene O'Neil)
I don't know about (Edna O'Brian)
I don't think about (And Laurence Sterne)
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 lookin' for someone to hold his hand
He doesn't yet fully understand the meaning
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
(Oscar Wilde and Brendan Behan)
I don't think about (Shaun O'Casey)
I don't care about (George Bernard Shaw)
Oh (Samuel Beckett)
Don't know about (Gene O'Neil)
I don't think about (Edna O'Brien)
Won't talk about (And Laurence Sterne)
Now listen, all these other people
(Kevin Casey)
They don't mean a thing
(Donald Foley)
They're not listenin' to what you say
(Sean Kavanaugh)
Makes no difference anyway
(And Sean McCann)
If I knew it I would tell
(Benedict Keilly)
Give you anything
(Jimmy Hiney)
I'm not listenin' what you say
(Frank O'Connor)
But you might just go, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(And Catherine Rhine)
(Oscar Wilde and Brendan Behan)
(Shaun O'Casey, George Bernard Shaw)
