[Gil Scott-Heron - Shut ’Um Down 2042864 lyrics]
Did you hear that rumble? Did
You hear that sound?
Well it wasn't no eartquake
But it shook the ground
It made me think about power, like it or not:
I got to work for earth for what it's worth
'Cause it's the only earth we've got
Shut 'um Down! If that's the only way to
Keep them from melting down! Shut 'um Down!
If that's the only way to
Keep them from melting down!
I've heard a lot about
Safety and human error
A few dials and gauges is just
A wing and a prayer if you need perfection
And that's what it takes
Then you don't need people
Can't use people
You know people make mistakes
Shut 'um Down! If that's the only way to
Keep them from melting down! Shut 'um Down!
If that's the only way to
Keep them from melting down!
You hear that sound?
Well it wasn't no eartquake
But it shook the ground
It made me think about power, like it or not:
I got to work for earth for what it's worth
'Cause it's the only earth we've got
Shut 'um Down! If that's the only way to
Keep them from melting down! Shut 'um Down!
If that's the only way to
Keep them from melting down!
I've heard a lot about
Safety and human error
A few dials and gauges is just
A wing and a prayer if you need perfection
And that's what it takes
Then you don't need people
Can't use people
You know people make mistakes
Shut 'um Down! If that's the only way to
Keep them from melting down! Shut 'um Down!
If that's the only way to
Keep them from melting down!
