Elvis Costello - Button My Lip [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Don't want to talk about the government
Don't want to talk about some incident
Don't want to talk about some peppermint gum
Don't want to talk about the time to come

[Chorus]
Button my lip
'Til I'm smart enough

[Verse 2]
Don't raise your hand
'Cos I'm not offering
It serves you right
Now you are suffering
Give me a chance
To see it though
It all depends on what you hold is true

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Don't want to hear some little sniveling
You just don't get what I'm delivering
Maybe you want me
But you know you can't
I'd say, 'I want you?
But you know I don't

[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
Don't want to come at your beckoning
For any day they'll be a reckoning
Don't want to hear what is impossible
Baby, you've become invisible

[Chorus]

[Verse 5]
I've seen those clowns vacant and insolent
I stand accused but I am innocent
I am the mighty and magnificent

[Chorus]
