Shut Up and Play the Piano

Hello, microphone, it's me, Chilly

No, no, take it again, take it out

Hello, microphone, it's me, Jason

I know you prefer me on the piano, so be patient

You might guessed I'm a bit rusty

So it's best if you act impressed, trust me

When I rap, it's like I'm someone else

It's like I don't know how to play the piano

Please, somebody help

My inner Eric Satie's buried so deep inside

I still can't decide where I reside

Ten years in, still an underdog

Got a hundred songs on, like, a hundred blogs

And I got a million opinions

And you'll never get rid of me, I'm like the Palestinians

So I slip into my slippers, 'cause these hipsters

I think they're starved for music like Yom Kippur

And this piano doesn't laugh at my bad jokes

And this piano doesn't like second-hand smoke

One of these days, one of these days

One of these days I will

Shut up and play the piano, shut up and play the piano

Shut up and play the piano, shut up and play the piano

Verbal gonorrhea, I'm contagious

Pages upon pages like bank statements

I'm not meant for stasis

ABC, I always bring changes

So what more can I? Mouth moving

Not saying much anymore, thus proving

My new album's now finished

You might not like it but it's good for you, eat your spinach

(Comme ci pour Gonzales)

And I hope you speak English

Music professor, professional flesh-presser

Put your hands in the air like an empty gesture

The haircuts change, but the head fuck remains

The cock is feign, the pussy is your brain

Solo piano's musical cocaine

I tell myself make another, don't be so vain

But imagine if I just tossed it off

Imagine if the cock was soft

Imagine if I tarnished the image of the one and only album

That people really cared about, well, that would be a problem

So bear with me, I'll be right with you

Thank God I got another personality to switch to

Take the piano to a desert island

And take the time to write, to remain silent

ABC, I always bring changes

So listen how a real arranger arranges

One of these days, one of these days

One of these days I will

Shut up and play the piano, shut up and play the piano

Shut up and play the piano, shut up and play the piano

Shut up and play the piano, shut up and play the piano
