Written toward the end of the lockdown and though I usually stay upbeat about things, we have so many anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists out there that it just seems we are doomed to take this planet down with us.

lyrics

Shutdown

Shutdown…..here we go again
Around….when will it ever end
I’ve found you never know what life’s about
We’re bound to a star that’s burnin’ out

Shutdown…. guess we’re not so smart
Broke down….with a broken heart
We’re found…..inside a world of hurt and doubt
We’re bound to a star that’s burnin’ out

Instrumental break

Shutdown…..will we ever learn
Around……. every twist and turn
No sound ……...just our tears caught in a drought
We’re bound to a star that’s burnin’ out

Shutdown…..got to stay at home
Around….. loneliness has grown
I’ve found …….. that friends are hard to do without
We’re bound to a star that’s burnin’ out

Bridge and Instrumental Break

Shutdown….by something we can’t see
Locked down…..our own worst enemy
The sound…...as angry voices blame and shout
We’re bound to a star that’s burnin’ out

Shutdown….are we so unwise
Around…..spreading vicious lies
We’re found in a truth that’s filled with doubt
We’re bound to a star that’s burnin’ out
We’re bound to a star that’s burnin’ out
Burnin’ out…..Burnin’ out
Burnin’ out
