Shut You Down
WANK Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't fit in
Don't want to blend
Things that you laugh at
The hatred you spin
I don't fit in

Spitting venom all around asif you've got the right
Thinking that you're special but that ain't gonna fly (Hey!)
Breaking every promise and you're livin' out a lie
Dominos are fallin' and you're runnin' out of time

Twenty-four hours till I knock you out
Whoa I'm gonna shut you down
Retribution from the underground
Whoa I'm gonna shut you down
Whoa I'm gonna shut you down

Tweaking again (tweaking again)
You're not my friend
You strut like the devil
You're so full of sin
You're not my friend

Speaking like a monarch but you're nobody's king
Push my every button now I can't feel a thing (Hey)
Had enough of you messing with my mind
I can't wait to get you out of my life


Twenty-four hours till I knock you out
Whoa I'm gonna shut you down
Retribution from the underground
Whoa I'm gonna shut you down

Whoa I'm gonna shut you down
I'm gonna shut you down!

Spitting venom all around as if you've got the right
Thinking that you're special but that ain't gonna fly (Hey!)
Breaking every promise and you're livin' out a lie
Dominos are fallin' and you're runnin'...... out of time
Yeah......

Twenty-four hours till I knock you out
Whoa I'm gonna shut you down
Retribution from the underground
Whoa I'm gonna shut you down
Twenty-four hours till I knock you out
Whoa I'm gonna shut you down
Retribution from the underground
Whoa I'm gonna shut you down
Whoa I'm gonna shut you down




Whoa I'm gonna shut you down
Whoa I'm gonna shut you down
