How long must we take the pain?
As you bleed us dry again and again
The system elected by the mindless elite
It's built for the strong and preys on the weak
We break our backs day by day
And yet you're the ones who get the say
Let's bring it to them, give them the facts
And fill the system with the compassion it lacks
Shut it down, Shut it down
Shut it down, Shut it down
Shut it down, Shut it down
Shut it down, Shut it down
Shut it down
How neat when the issues arise
That you give a blanket statement then push it aside
It's not our doing and it's in your control
Why watch us suffer, did you sell your soul?
One objective to fulfil your greed
Sympathise through lies like it's a need
In time you'll pay for what you've done
Let's open up our eyes and overcome
Shut it down, Shut it down
Shut it down, Shut it down
Shut it down, Shut it down
Shut it down, Shut it down
Shut it down
Now with what's left to overthrow
We'll take it to you, make you reap what you sow
It won't affect me when you find your disease
Why listen to you when you pushed aside our pleas
Take you away and lock you up
Throw the keys away because enough is enough
Funny now how you'll take the time
It doesn't matter now you'll pay for your crime
Shut it down, Shut it down
Shut it down, Shut it down
Shut it down, Shut it down
Shut it down, Shut it down
Shut it down
Shut it down
