about

Don says:

Predestinated is too a word!

lyrics

You wear the cross of your salvation
Right upon your chest
You used to drive me to damnation
Where I’ll stay unless

You save me from the hell
That you yourself have made
But I’m not leaving

Meanie
You used to be so exciting
When your wit was still biting
When my pride was still black and blue from you


Though I know
I’m not supposed to like trouble
I’m a boy in a bubble
And nothing else will do
Don’t let the sun
Shine through

Preach the savior resurrected
Sing those songs of grace
But you’ll never be selected
At the end of days

The devil’s saying mass
The swine are casting pearls
You won’t deceive me

Meanie
I can forgive all the sinning
If it’s just the beginning
And I suspect it is
Despite your prayers

Meanie
Longing to be elevated
But you’re predestinated
You were made to be mean
So please be mean to me

Does heaven really smile
On girls gone wild gone good
Don’t believe it

Meanie
I can admit I’m addicted
To the pain you’ve inflicted
And I’m sick of His grace
Amazing you

Meanie
Still looking good in a nightie
Reject the Almighty
And go to hell
I mean
Come back to live
With me.

The Shut-Ups image

The Shut-Ups Atlanta, Georgia

We're a five-piece new-wave power-pop band from Atlanta and Athens, GA and practice daily at 6AM. We do more before 8AM than most bands do all week.

We're not about Pleasure or Fun. You may enjoy listening to us. You may not. You may pretend to enjoy us because others you respect seem to. They may be pretending, too. In which case you may want to consider what else they're pretending about. ... more
