Don't Shut 'Em Down

Sad days are kissing the cheeks

Of the families who are walkin' away

Tragic the pubs are all closin'

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

Now 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 livin' is hard through the struggles of life

If nothin' 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

Buildin's decomposing in slumber

There's no work for all till they wake

Now 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 livin' is hard through the struggles of life

If nothin' gets done it will never be right

But don't shut 'em down

Too many faults, no reasons

The rains that fall dry bleedin'

Upon the ashes of our homes

Our homes, save our homes

(Manic the word on the street here is panic)

(There's a riot on hand)

People takin' care of the people

There's no other way or we'll break

Now 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 livin' is hard through the struggles of life

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 livin' is hard through the struggles of life

If nothin' 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, kissin' the cheeks of the families

You won't shut 'em down
