[Interludes:]
[Male News Archors #1:] Breaking news story! Just bringing you up to date…
[Female News Archors #1:]… across the US, as the country’s economy continues to plunge.
[Male News Archors #2:] Now some are so outraged… they are doing something about it!
[Female News Archors #1:] The Congress is proposing new taxes…
[Male News Archors #2:] Symbols remind you of the toll the ongoing wars are taking on our country!
[Female News Archors #1:] CEO’s. [echoes] [beat starts]
[Tom Morello starts playing the guitar]
[Chorus 1: B-Real (Sen Dog)]
We shut ’em down! – We shut ’em down! (shut ’em down!)
We shut ’em down! (shut ’em down!) – Yeah, we shut ’em down!
We shut ’em down! – We shut ’em down! (shut ’em down!)
We shut ’em down! (shut ’em down!) – Yeah, we shut ’em down!
[Sen Dog:]
Somethin’ getting down from the motherf#ckin’ get go (get go!)
Hands around your neck and I’m refusing to let go! (I’m refusing to let go!)
I’m like a Down South – crooked-ass police (crooked-ass police!)
Gettin’ me some of everything. – Down to your show biz! (down to your show biz!)
See? They got me – straight going off, G! (straight goin’ off, G!)
Going buck wild, swinging on a paparazzi! (swingin’ on the paparazzi!)
We not done! – This sh#t ain’t over! (this sh#t ain’t over!)
Cause we’re back with a nation of soldiers. (with a nation of soldiers!)
And we havin’ it! – We takin’ over, kid! (we takin’ over, kid!)
Coming through – with the Cannabis potent sh#t! (Cannabis potent sh#t!)
I’m thinkin’: “Oh, no! – We rock the good show! ” (we rock the good show!)
Hand over the mic’ like Billy Boddy in a fist show. (like Billy Boddy in a fist show!)
[Chorus:]
[Chorus 2: B-Real {Sen Dog}]
(Bailouts!) Shut ’em down! – (Wall Street!) Shut ’em down! {shut ’em down!}
Shut ’em down! {shut ’em down!} – Yeah, we shut ’em down!
(Cold wars!) We shut ’em down! – (Politicians!) We shut ’em down! {shut ’em down!}
(Quiet Tax!) Shut ’em down! {shut ’em down!} – Yeah, we shut ’em down!
[B-Real:]
Going down the cross roads, feeling kinda lost no
Way to make it forsaken and taken for a lost soul!
I don’t want your sympathy! – I don’t need your hand out!
Never had it planned out, just a cut your man out!
Wars on the newscast! – Caught it on a news flash!
Heard about a new tax! – What if I refuse that?
I don’t want your promises! – I don’t need your b#llsh#t!
I don’t need you telling me the answers at the pulpit!
Setup for the meltdown! – Hunted by the hellhounds!
Spiders got you spellbound! – Get up if you fell down!
I don’t hate your slick talk! – I don’t seek your point of view!
I’m the f#cking thorn your side that keeps annoying you!
[Chorus 3: B-Real {Sen Dog}]
(Crooked cops!) We shut ’em down! – (Drug Lords!) We shut ’em down! {shut ’em down!}
(Higher tax!) Shut ’em down! {shut ’em down!} – Yeah, we shut ’em down!
(False media!) We shut ’em down! – (A common enemy!) We shut ’em down! {shut ’em down!}
(Hypocrities!) We shut ’em down! {shut ’em down!} – Yeah, we shut ’em down!
[24 seconds guitar solo by Tom Morello]
[Chorus 4: B-Real {Sen Dog}]
(Politicians!) We shut ’em down! – (War criminals!) We shut ’em down! {shut ’em down!}
(This is a fixed show!) We shut ’em down! {shut ’em down!} – Yeah, we shut ’em down!
(Corruptions!) We shut ’em down! – (No surrender!) We shut ’em down! {shut ’em down!}
(By any means!) We shut ’em down! {shut ’em down!} – Yeah, we shut ’em down!
[Chorus 1]
[Beat fades out]
