Shut It Down
Against All Authority Lyrics

Three chords and six strings
The simplicity of the music they make embodies their punk attitude.

They're screaming how they're gonna change things
Their music is a message of resistance and rebellion.

They're young, they're strong and proud
They are not afraid to speak up and fight for what they believe in.

We turn it up cause we like it loud
They play their music loud because they want their message to be heard.

They're young but the lines have been drawn
Even though they are young, they know where they stand and are not afraid to fight for it.

And they're still gonna be here when you're gone
Their message will outlast those who try and silence them.

And years from now when your clique has moved on
Their music will remain relevant even after those who opposed it have moved on.

They'll still be in the basement till the break of dawn
They will continue to play their music and fight for their cause no matter the venue or circumstances.

Sweating blood into every single song
Their music comes from a place of passion and dedication.

And still feeling like they don't belong
They are fighting against a system that still excludes them despite their efforts.

And it'll be here for the down and out
Their music is for those who have been marginalized and oppressed, who need something to uplift them.

And every generation that needs to shout
Their music is timeless, and will continue to speak to others who are fighting for the same cause.

About injustice or just how we need to shut this fucker down
Their music is a call to action to put an end to the system that oppresses them and others.

You just can't shut this motherfucker down
Their message will continue to persist even if others try to silence them.

You can slag it when you leave and spite it
Those who oppose their message will continue to try and bring them down even after they are gone.

It still burns with the fire that once ignited you
Their message and passion will continue to inspire others and keep the fight for justice alive.

They're young but you were there too
Those who oppose their message were once in their shoes and fought for the same cause.

Don't think they're posing just because they never knew
The young generation is just as passionate and dedicated to the cause as those who came before them.

The songs or the scene, it was there before you
The message of resistance and rebellion has been around for a long time, and will continue to be relevant in the future.

And it's way more important than your hair and tattoos
Their message and cause is not just a trend or fashion statement, but a real struggle for justice and equality.

Take what you need and leave when you're through
Their message is here for those who need it, but it's up to individuals to decide whether to fight for the cause or not.

And keep your mouth shut when you do
Those who oppose their message should not try and silence them, but rather let them speak and continue the fight.
