PIPE DOWN, PEANUT GALLERY [Verse 1] Here comes the peanut gallery, Everybody's got a theory, Three quick facts and a TED Talk And suddenly they know me. “You should heal.” “You should grow.” “You should really let that go.” Oh, that's precious, thanks so much— Did I ask? No? Thought so. [Pre-Chorus] I'm figuring myself out, I never asked for your participation. You brought a map to a place You've never been on vacation. [Chorus] Pipe down, peanut gallery, Save your wisdom for somebody else. You don't know the half of me, And frankly, I don't need your help. It's not my fault you mistook a performance for a personality— Pipe down, peanut gallery, My life's not your group project, honey. [Verse 2] “Have you tried just being positive?” “Have you tried releasing fear?” “Have you tried a little gratitude?” Have you tried disappearing? “Maybe you're too guarded.” “Maybe you think too much.” Maybe I enjoy my boundaries— And maybe you talk too much. You saw one little window, Built a house around the view, Wrote yourself a biography And somehow made it true. [Pre-Chorus] You don't know what I've survived, You don't know what I've outgrown. And you certainly don't need A front-row seat to what I own. [Chorus] Pipe down, peanut gallery, Save your wisdom for somebody else. You don't know the half of me, And frankly, I don't need your help. It's not my fault you mistook a performance for a personality— Pipe down, peanut gallery, My life's not your group project, honey. [Bridge] Have you tried breathing? Yes. Have you tried journaling? Yes. Have you tried boundaries? Yes. Have you tried meditation? Yep. Have you tried letting go? Yep. Have you tried— ...shutting the fuck up? [Beat.] No? Well, there's your breakthrough. [Final Chorus] Pipe down, peanut gallery! Oh, I love the enthusiasm. Keep your unsolicited wisdom For your next group intervention. I'm not lost, I'm not broken, I'm not waiting for your clarity— Pipe down, peanut gallery, You were never on the committee. [Outro] Anyway... Thanks for stopping by. Your feedback has been filed under— Absolutely nobody asked. Have a lovely day.
