Mouth Wide Open
Jim Halverson

Verse 1
The son of teachers from a little town
We're taught to do just what the leaders say
We never thought they'd try to bring us down We didn't know the games that they would play

And there you stand with your mouth wide open Gobbling up all they say to you
And the words that they say may not be true

Verse 2
I graduated from my old high school
I went to college to get my degree Five years later looking for a job
Took one and thought that I would then be free

And there you stand With your mouth wide open Gobbling up all they say to you
And the words that they say may not be true

Guitar Solo

Breakdown
Mouth wide open watch what you consume You're gonna get in trouble if you swallow it Look out now before your head goes boom
The lies there telling you that they will not admit

Spit it out, spit it out, find the truth
Dig a little deeper before you lose your youth Spit it out, spit it out. Stand your ground
We can start a revolution when we come around

Verse 3
Working for the man and it just didn't feel right
I'm just another number on a payroll page
I gotta make a run for it to fight my fight
And play my character on the reality stage

And there you stand With your mouth wide open Gobbling up all they say to you
And the words that they say may not be true

Chorus/Outro
Spit it out, spit it out, find the truth
Dig a little deeper before you lose your youth Spit it out, spit it out. Stand your ground
We can start a revolution when we come around

Spit it out, spit it out, then begin to shout
We want the truth, so brace yourself and let it out
Spit it out, spit it out. Don't look back
We're gonna straighten out this mess and get back on track

Mouth wide open watch what you consume You're gonna get in trouble if you swallow it Look out now before your head goes boom
