Don't Shut 'Em Down

Flogging Molly - Don't Shut 'Em Down


Sad days, kissing the cheeks
Of the families who are walking away
Tragic, the pubs are opposing,
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

Yeah, this is life
In a modern town
The windows smashed open with the doors kicked out
Its not a good day left to be in a fight
Cause living is hard through the struggles of life
If nothing gets done it will never be right
But dont shut em down

Lately, the 21st centurys been... crazy
Its the sign of the times
Buildings decomposing in slumber
Theres no work for all till they wake

Yeah, this is life
In a modern town
The windows smashed open with the doors kicked out
Its not a good day left to be in a fight
Cause living is hard through the struggles of life
If nothing gets done it will never be right
But dont shut em down
Dont shut em down

Too many faults, no reasons
The rains that fall, dry bleeding
Upon the ashes of our homes
Our homes
Save our homes

Manic
The word on the street here is panic
Theres a riot at hand
People, taking care of the people
Theres no other way, or well break

Yeah, this is life
In a modern town
The windows smashed open with the doors kicked out
Its not a good day left to be in a fight
Cause living is hard through the struggles of life
Yeah, this is life
In a modern town
The windows smashed open with the doors kicked out
Its not a good day left to be in a fight
Cause living is hard through the struggles of life
If nothing gets done it will never be right
But dont shut em down
Dont shut em down
Dont shut em down
Sad days, kissing the cheeks of the families
（you cant shut em down）
Sad days, kissing the cheeks of the families
（you wont shut em down）
