[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
