Don't Shut 'Em Down

Sad days, kissing the cheeks

Of the families who are walking away

Tragic, the pubs are opposing,

The system is broken, decay



Because business is down at the depot,

Defenses are the only things built

Neighbors wave goodbye to each other

This country is over, they say



Yeah, this is life

In a modern town

The windows smashed open with the doors kicked out

It's not a good day left to be in a fight

'Cause living is hard through the struggles of life

If nothing gets done it will never be right

But don't shut 'em down



Lately, the 21st century's been... crazy

It's the sing of the times

Buildings decomposing in slumber

There's no work for all till they wake



Yeah, this is life

In a modern town

The windows smashed open with the doors kicked out

It's not a good day left to be in a fight

'Cause living is hard through the struggles of life

If nothing gets done it will never be right

But don't shut 'em down

Don't shut 'em down



Too many faults, no reasons

The rains that fall, dry bleeding

Upon the ashes of our homes

Our homes

Save our homes



Manic

The word on the street here is panic

There's a riot at hand



People, taking care of the people

There's no other way, or we'll break



Yeah, this is life

In a modern town

The windows smashed open with the doors kicked out

It's not a good day left to be in a fight

'Cause living is hard through the struggles of life



Yeah, this is life

In a modern town

The windows smashed open with the doors kicked out

It's not a good day left to be in a fight

'Cause living is hard through the struggles of life

If nothing gets done it will never be right

But don't shut 'em down

Don't shut 'em down



Sad days, kissing the cheeks of the families (you can't shut 'em down)
