Shutdown Man

from Least Concern by Mandate of Heaven

lyrics

Shutdown Man saw a saw in your hand
Tell me how you gonna dig out that splinter
You see me grow and you cut me low
You don’t stop until you cut down me
Shutdown Man saw a shovel in your hand
You know you’re gonna have to dig a bit deeper
These bones the glow when you bury them low
And you can’t dig it if you can’t dig me
Oh, Shut Down Man
You wait and see
Gonna rewrite your program
Gonna make you talk like me
Black Jack Man with a spade in your hand
You could have gotten everything that you wanted
But 21 diamonds on a telephone wire
Couldn’t tell you that your world was on fire
Check Out Man, such a slip in your hand
You could have gotten everything that you asked for
But you had to steal what they were giving to you
So what’s your fuckin’ plan now, dude?
Oh Check Out Man
You wait and see
Gonna get inside your program
Gonna make you talk like me
