about

Don says:

Sloth is a curse.

lyrics

You’re the king of your kit,
But a klutz when you sit on your throne.
Where’s that funky groove you keep misplacing?

You’re falling behind
‘Cause your feet have a mind of their own.
The problem is extensive
Please don’t get defensive

I am
I am the METRONOME
You abuse rock and roll
When you lose control
Don’t forget the METRONOME.

Whenever you slip,
I’ll be cracking the whip, bear and grin it.
A reprimand can be the greatest kindness.

Surrender your seat
If you can’t take a beating per minute.
If you don’t let me correct you
Will even you respect you?

I am
I am the METRONOME
Do your drills, day and night
‘til your fills get tight
You must sweat to METRONOME

You can run through the mountains and the valleys
Run to the ocean, white with foam
Speed ahead or fall behind for dilly-dallies
But you can’t lose the METRONOME

I would leave you alone
But your rhythm would only get worse.
Sloth is a curse.
You’d never rehearse!

I am
I am the METRONOME
Please go on – we’re not done
‘Til we beat as one
Beyond the blunderdome
Become the METRONOME

I am! I am!

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
