Lyrics
[Verse 1] (Have to shut the whole system down) (Have to shut the whole system down) People tryin' to save this earth from an ugly death (Have to shut the whole system down) People tryin' to live, workin' in a world to meet that threat [Verse 2] (Have to shut the whole system down) All around the planet there's a blindness that just can't see (Have to shut the whole system down) They're all wearing climate change, as cool as they can be [Chorus] (Have to shut the whole system down) Shut it down, shut it down Shut it down, shut it down [Verse 3] (Have to shut the whole system down) That's the only way we can all be free (Have to shut the whole system down) Start again and build it for eternity [Verse 4] (Have to shut the whole system down) What about the animals? What about the birds and bees? (Have to shut the whole system down) What about the bookshelves? What about the history? [Chorus] (Have to shut the whole system down) Shut it down, shut it down Shut it down, shut it down [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Shut it down, shut it down Shut it down, shut it down [Verse 5] (Have to shut the whole system down) When I look at the future, I see hope for you and me (Have to shut the whole system down) Working, working for eternity, work it now (Have to shut the whole system down) When I look at the future, I see hope for you and me (Have to shut the whole system down) Working for eternity [Outro] (Have to shut the whole system down) (Have to shut the whole system down) (Have to shut the whole system down)
