Shredding The Document Lyrics

Artist : JOHN HIATT
Album : Walk On
Oh what have you done with your life

Oh please don't tell me

Just shut up and go to work

Cause you're interrupting me



I won't represent the U.S.

In the summer olympics

My character's questionable

My life is a broken record



CHORUS:

I'm shredding the document

I'm keeping my mouth shut

I'm running on radio silence

I'm letting the record speak

I'm shredding the document

The switchboard is lighting up

I'm not taking anymore calls

Well maybe from larry King



And I don't know who killed who

I'm having a sex change

To a woman who loves too much

My sister's a petty thief



I doctored the evidence

Yeah it was a cover up

I want to stay wrapped in my blanket

And never get out of bed



REPEAT CHORUS



All rumor and innuendo

An Eagles reunion

The 20th century's closing

It's closing in on me



You know what my father said

Well I'm not going to tell you

Some words that I try to live by

It's none of your goddamn business



REPEAT CHORUS



I'm shredding the document

The switchboard is lighting up

I'm not taking anymore calls

Well maybe from Oprah Winfrey
