The Books
It Never Changes to Stop
Sit up straight and be quiet
Sit down, son
Sit up straight in your seat
And I do not want any more talking
Any more moving about, at all
Absolutely still, absolutely quiet
Look up here. Look up here!
Let me have your undivided attention
Nobody talking, nobody moving
Absolutely (snap) nobody looking around
Alright put your hands down
Eyes (snap) closed
Close your eyes, eyes closed
Come on, right now, come on
Nobody moving, nobody talking
Absolutely still, every eye closed
And, uh, he thought he could, um, uh
He could stop when he wanted to
That he can stop, you know
When he wants to stop
And, uh, I don't think that he ever
Really believed that he couldn't stop
I really believe that I think that he really felt
That he could stop whenever he wanted to
