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 sign 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

(Don't shut 'em down)

Sad days, kissing the cheeks of the families

(You can't shut 'em down)

Sad days, kissing the cheeks of the families

(You won't shut 'em down)
