There you go
You're always so right
It's all a big show
It's all about you

You think you know
What everyone needs
You always take time
To criticize me

It seems like everyday
I make mistakes
I just can't get it right

It's like I'm the one
You love to hate
But not today

[Chorus]
So shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't wanna hear it
Get out, get out, get out
Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up
You'll never stop me
Nothing you say today
Is gonna bring me down

There you go
You never ask why
It's all a big lie
Whatever you do

You think you're special
But I know, and I know
And I know, and we know
That you're not

You're always there to point
Out my mistakes
And shove them in my face

It's like I'm the one
You love to hate
But not today

[Chorus]

Is gonna bring me down

Will never bring me down

Don't tell me who I should be
And don't try to tell me what's right for me
Don't tell me what I should do
I don't wanna waste my time
I'll watch you fade away

[Chorus: x2]

Bring me down
(Shut up, shut up, shut up)
Won't bring me down
(Shut up, shut up, shut up)
Bring me down
(Shut up, shut up, shut up)
Won't bring me down

Shut up, shut up, shut up

    My Opinion:This song is simple and pretty much outright in the meaning, which is why I like it! Always makes me think of certain people when I hear it. <.<

    General Comment:I totally agree with Legato Dude... I always picture it's against a girl too, while there is no evidence that it's against male/female. Real odd...

    Great song though. [:

    General Comment:WOW what an angsty group of seudo-emo men.. i dunno all their 'songs' sound the same it's kinda hard to tell what they are trying to say.. possibly that mainstream music sucks balls and that they don't want to take following the whole "look like this to get ratings shit" too bad they suck worse than a drunk slut on her knees.

    General Comment:just to clarify something I said earlier...I didn't mean the Used were punk....my agrument went a little astray there.But anyways, if they say that they don't care about haters, then why in the world would they write a whole song about it?

    General Comment:I think this song is AWESOME. Most people love it because most people feel like they're put down by someone.The people who are in power must hate this song because they want control. It's about the balance of power, really.
