Shut the Fuck Up!
C oulter Jacobs

The walls are as thin as eyelashes,

Shut the Fuck up!

Yer conversations are meaningless,

Shut the Fuck up!

I have to work at 4 a.m.!

Shut the Fuck up!

Techno is not a form of music,

Shut the Fuck up!

I don’t wanna hear you & yer old hag,

Shut the Fuck up!

The TV might as well be in here,

Shut the Fuck up!

Quit pounding on the walls,

Shut the Fuck up!

Why do you take 5 showers in 2 hours?

Shut the Fuck up!

Turn your guitar down or atleast tune it,

Shut the Fuck up!

The 5 a.m. shift is siphoning my entrails,

Shut the Fuck up!

Your ceiling is my floor,

Shut the Fuck up!

Quit slamming the goddamn cabinets,

Shut the Fuck up!

Our bedroom walls are the same,

Shut the Fuck up!

Tell your friends to go home,

Shut the Fuck up!

I hate Pacific Beach,

Shut the Fuck up!

Cop sirens, bottlesmash, cigaretteash, girlscreams,

Shut the Fuck up!

Gotta move on outta hear and . . .

Shut the Fuck up!

Pacific Beach,
