Shut It Down
Dave Silcox feat. Ms. Williams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oversocialized
They feed us lies to pacify
They use degeneracy and filth to control your mind
They want our world to become soyified
But we maintain our pride
Immune to propaganda
But when you dare speak truth to the crown
That's when they say
** ***, SHUT IT DOWN
THE ***** KNOW, SHUT IT DOWN
Consume their slop
I don't comply
We're ***** cattle
Punished for every stray thought
The torch of revolution has been lit through strife
Led to great conflagration
Overcome the protocols
THE ***** KNOW, SHUT IT DOWN
TcKE WHcT'S OURS
