Shut It Down Lyrics

(This is a public service announcement....WITH GUITAR!!!)

Now that I'm awake, I'm never sleeping again
'Cause I don't wanna miss the life I should be living
Break me off a piece of those candy coated good times
I need a high
I'm serious, it's do or die

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm serious it's do or die
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

(Chorus)
Shut it down
Before we're all outta time
Shut it down
This is the end of the line
This is the end of the line
This is the end of the line

Throw away your cell phone
You can talk to yourself
You need a real friend, not some digital image
So what's it gonna be?
A chat room or your family?
Don't let the T.V. screen turn into your reality

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Turn into your reality
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Chorus

I don't wanna die
I don't wanna dieI
But I'm having trouble living
I don't wanna die
No I don't wanna die
But I'm not taking what they're giving!

Chorus

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think this song is about getting a life and not being a shut in who only talks to people online.

the vocals at the end of the song by Sugarcult's Tim Pagnotta are awesome!

Shut it down Shut it down Before we're all outta time!

The first line is a reference to The Clash.

I think this song is promoting getting outside more often, which is a noble gesture in my opinion.
