[Verse 1:]
Turn everything off
The moving parts come to a halt
I leave the work half-done and walk away
Conditions have been balanced
In your favour far too long
It's time for you to hear the words I say

[Chorus:]
Shutdown, this system isn't right
Slow down, there's gonna be a fight
Shut it down
Thank you and goodnight

[Verse 2:]
Once there was a time
When I would listen to your lies
But now I recognize what's going on
You've never been defied
And now you need me on your side
You only realise now it is gone

[Chorus:]
Shutdown, this system isn't right
Slow down, there's gonna be a fight
Shut it down
Thank you and goodnight
[Chorus:]
Shutdown, put the system right
Slow down, there's gonna be a fight
Shut it down
Thank you and goodnight
Shut it down
Thank you and goodnight
