Down, Down, Down Lyrics
Have to shut the whole system down
Have to shut the whole system down
People tryin' to save this earth
From an ugly death
Have to shut the whole system down
People tryin' to live
Working in a world of meat factories
Have to shut the whole system down
All around the planet
There's a blindness that just can't see
Have to shut the whole system down
They're all wearing climate change
As cool as they can be
Have to shut the whole system down
Shut it down, shut it down
Shut it down, shut it down
Have to shut the whole system down
That's the only way we can all be free
Have to shut the whole system down
Start again and build it for eternity
Have to shut the whole system down
What about the animals?
What about the birds and bees?
Have to shut the whole system down
What about the bookshelves?
What about the history?
Have to shut the whole system down
Shut it down, shut it down
Shut it down, shut it down
Shut it down, shut it down
Shut it down, shut it down
Have to shut the whole system down
When I look at the future
I see hope for you and me
Have to shut the whole system down
Working, working for eternity
Working now
Have to shut the whole system down
When I look to the future
I see hope for you and me
Have to shut the whole system down
Working for eternity
Gonna shut the whole system down
Got to shut the whole system down
Got to shut the whole system down
Have to shut the whole system down
People tryin' to save this earth
From an ugly death
Have to shut the whole system down
People tryin' to live
Working in a world of meat factories
All around the planet
There's a blindness that just can't see
Have to shut the whole system down
They're all wearing climate change
As cool as they can be
Shut it down, shut it down
Shut it down, shut it down
That's the only way we can all be free
Have to shut the whole system down
Start again and build it for eternity
What about the animals?
What about the birds and bees?
Have to shut the whole system down
What about the bookshelves?
What about the history?
Shut it down, shut it down
Shut it down, shut it down
Shut it down, shut it down
When I look at the future
I see hope for you and me
Have to shut the whole system down
Working, working for eternity
Working now
When I look to the future
I see hope for you and me
Have to shut the whole system down
Working for eternity
Got to shut the whole system down
Got to shut the whole system down

I don't know when the title was changed, but on Deja Vu the song was listed as "Whisky Boot Hill, Down down down, and Country Girl. At some point it became just "Country Girl".
I have never heard or read some of the lyrics as posted here/ Is there a source available for this version?
You might also find it interesting that this song, and "Broken Arrow", share some lyrics and music which were taped during the writing of the songs. Vocal and piano, I my memory is correct. I found it VERY interesting.
