Neil Young
Shut It Down
[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
Working in a world of meat factories

(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 2]
(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
(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 3]
(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]
Gonna shut the whole system down
Got to shut the whole system down
Got to shut the whole system down
