about

Don says:

I think we can all agree that we need more songs about confirmation bias. *Other* people’s confirmation bias.

lyrics

I felt it in my bloodstream; I knew it in my head.
I said it with my mouth, and then it happened like I said.
It’s not that I’m infallible; it’s just I’m never wrong.
And this just goes to show what I’ve been saying all along.

There’s no counterargument; there’s nothing to debate
And whatever happens next will only further demonstrate
How right I was before and am right now and will be then
And this just goes to show what I have said since way back when

When will we learn the truth, of course when I refer to “we”
I’m only being modest; I mean everyone but me
The least that I can do is put the truth into a song:
This just goes to show what I’ve been saying all along

Can you hear it?
Listen closely now.
Everyone is saying this all the time
Everyone is singing this song
Everyone:

This just goes to show what I’ve been saying all along
This just goes to show what I’ve been saying all along

Everyone!
Be quiet, Everyone!

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
