Shut Up And Shot Down

(album: Thunder Up - 1987)

Every time I hear that couldn't care less laugh
I feel like a piece of wood
My arms won't do what I want them to
And my legs don't do what they should
I feel like summer thunder
Shot-up and shutdown in a shut-up shop town
In a shut your mouth
And sit right down and take it down

I don't know how it cut up this rough
I just don't know how it got this unjust
I'm looking for a long straight road
But I can't see it for rising dust
I feel like summer thunder
I've got a storm held in this frame
Sell me a fix, sell me a lie
In the end it's going to break
And I won't care if this country dies

Do I look like how I feel
Like a would-be murderer who knows it's not the way

Shot up and shutdown
In a shut up shop town
In a shut your mouth
And sit right down and take it down

Most of England is sleeping in the sun
But not everyone
