Flogging Molly - Don't Shut 'Em Down Lyrics
Sad days, kissing the cheeksOf the families who are walking awayTragic, the pubs are opposing,The system is broken, decayBecause business is down at the depot,Defenses are the only things builtNeighbors wave goodbye to each otherThis country is over, they sayYeah, this is lifeIn a modern townThe windows smashed open with the doors kicked outIt's not a good day left to be in a fight'Cause living is hard through the struggles of lifeIf nothing gets done it will never be rightBut don't shut 'em downLately, the 21st century's been... crazyIt's the sing of the timesBuildings decomposing in slumberThere's no work for all till they wakeYeah, this is lifeIn a modern townThe windows smashed open with the doors kicked outIt's not a good day left to be in a fight'Cause living is hard through the struggles of lifeIf nothing gets done it will never be rightBut don't shut 'em downDon't shut 'em downToo many faults, no reasonsThe rains that fall, dry bleedingUpon the ashes of our homesOur homesSave our homesManicThe word on the street here is panicThere's a riot at handPeople, taking care of the peopleThere's no other way, or we'll breakYeah, this is lifeIn a modern townThe windows smashed open with the doors kicked outIt's not a good day left to be in a fight'Cause living is hard through the struggles of lifeYeah, this is lifeIn a modern townThe windows smashed open with the doors kicked outIt's not a good day left to be in a fight'Cause living is hard through the struggles of lifeIf nothing gets done it will never be rightBut don't shut 'em downDon't shut 'em downSad 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)
