[Lyrics] Flogging Molly - Don't Shut em Down + Free download

Flogging Molly's new single, don't shut 'em down! Preview from the new album coming April 2011

Lyrics: Just typed them. They may not all be right, please correct me :)


Sad days, kissing the cheeks of the families who are walking away
Tragic, the pubs are opposing, the system is broken, decay

Because business is down
At the depot, defences are the only things built
Neighbours wave goodbye to each other
This country is over, they say

Yeah, this is life
In a modern town
The windows smashed open with the doors kicked out
It's not a good day left to be in a fight
'cause living is hard through the struggles of life
If nothing gets done it will never be right
But don't shut 'em down

Lately, the 21st century's been... crazy
It's the sound of the times
Buildings decomposing in slumber
There's no work for all till they wake

Yeah, this is life
In a modern town
The windows smashed open with the doors kicked out
It's not a good day left to be in a fight
'cause living is hard through the struggles of life
If nothing gets done it will never be right
But don't shut 'em down
Don't shut 'em down

Too many faults, no reasons
The rains that fall, dry bleeding
Upon the ashes of our homes
Our homes
Save our homes

Manic
The word on the street here is panic
There's a riot at hand

People, taking care of the people
There's no other way, or we'll break

Yeah, this is life
In a modern town
The windows smashed open with the doors kicked out
It's not a good day left to be in a fight
'cause living is hard through the struggles of life

Yeah, this is life
In a modern town
The windows smashed open with the doors kicked out
It's not a good day left to be in a fight
'cause living is hard through the struggles of life
If nothing gets done it will never be right
But don't shut 'em down
Don't shut 'em down

Sad days, kissing the cheecks of the families (you can't shut 'em down)
Sad days, kissing the cheecks of the families (you won't shut 'em down)

@rswizardmag It's the sign of the times, im sure thats just a typo though

As for everyone else... Get off of Flogging Molly's nutsack and let them make the music they want to make.

For you saying 'This isn't Flogging Molly', you couldn't be more wrong. This is the band doing what they want to do. Their on their own label and can write what they want.

Saw them live a few weeks back. EVERY song they played off the new album was just as good as their old stuff. Sorry the band isn't sticking to the specific mold everyone wants to put them in.

I don't care what they do, this still is good.

OMG I've been trying to figure out who this song is for about three months! I heard it on the radio, but didn't hear who it was.... wouldn't have guessed Flogging Molly, but it's definently his voice. and 52 people in the world are officially stupid.

[Ollovka]

52 retards

@DuoStooGe

not only that

ur looking @ it the commercial way

an artist is some1 who gives a massage by their art....flogging molly does it mostly in the lyrics....it sounds good...

but imo if you listen 2 music without catching the message...

you're either stupid

or just a sheep

flogging molly slightly switches style

yes...for selling their albums

so they can still deliver the messages

[MADDOG6400]

52 people got shut down.

Been a flogging molly fan for ever talking i got "Side One Dummie" in vinyl old and this is really good yea its no like Devils Dance floor but its really good reguardless stop the QQ and go make an irish station on pandora if your really that distraught about it

[DuoStooGe]

a band has to change their music slightly to make money cause tbh if it they stuck to the same music it get kindy boring :/

[MasterOfNotAlot]

I said this on the official video, and I'll say it here. I've heard the album, and it will be a suprise if it DOESN'T hit within the top 5 of the top 200. The entire album from start to finish is an epic masterpiece from the band. It's by far the hardest hitting FM album to date, and perhaps one of the angriest. ALOT of heart, soul and effort went into this album, and it shines true. To people doubting, please, doubt no longer

[Twiggy090984]

I think this song is great, its nice to see bands try different sound, that way you don't feel like you are buying the same thing over and over. I've seen them a couple of times live and they are amazing, and would get another chance to see them on the 31st of May.
