Shut Up Stand Up Lyrics

i quit this conversation
you´re right and i am done
i think you make yourself a victim
there´s nothing good enough
there´s only one
colour deep grey and a bitter taste
you don´t know what´s there if you don´t try
shut up stand up
you drive me up the wall
shut up stand up
i heard it all before
shut up stand up
i quit this conversation
you don´t let your feelings show
i don´t know what you got inside
shut up stand up
you drive me up the wall
shut up stand up
i heard it all before
shut up stand up
by the way i wanna have a good time with you
it´s friday night and i wanna go out
i need some air and a place to go
so won´t please shut up

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I have no idea what that guys said in German.....but I love this song...It is probaby my favorite Beatsteaks song, it totally rocks. I love the part when he goes "Shut the fuck up!" It is way awesome. I think the song is pretty much about the same thing as Let Me In, a guy and a chick in a relationship where the chick won't open up and tell the dude how she feels. "I quit this conversation, You don't let your feelings show". This song is so awesome.
