  • I'll only ask you once more
    You only want to believe
    This man is looking for someone to hold him down
    He doesn't yet fully understand the meaning

    Never heard about Oscar Wilde
    Don't know about Brendan Behan
    Know anything about Sean O'Casey
    Or care about George Bernard Shaw
    Or Samuel Beckett
    Won't talk about Eugene O'Neill
    He won't talk about Edna O'Brien
    Or know anything about Lawrence Stern

    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 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
    Know anything about Sean O'Casey
    Don't care about George Bernard Shaw
    Or Samuel Beckett
    Don't know anything about Eugene O'Neill
    know anything about Edna O'Brien
    Won't talk about Lawrence Stern

    Now listen
    All these other people, they don't mean a thing
    And no less than what you said
    Makes no difference at all
    If I knew it, I would tell
    Give you anything
    I'll listen to what you said
    But you must
