Three chords and six strings
They're screaming how they're gonna change things
They're young, they're strong and proud
We turn it up cause we like it loud

Three chords and six strings
They're screaming how they're gonna change things
They're young, they're strong and proud
We turn it up cause we like it loud

They're young but the lines have been drawn
And they're still gonna be here when you're gone
And years from now when your clique has moved on
They'll still be in the basement till the break of dawn

Sweating blood into every single song
And still feeling like they don't belong

And it'll be here for the down and out
And every generation that needs to shout
About injustice or
Just how we need to shut this fucker down

Shut it down
Shut it down
You just can't shut this motherfucker down

You can slag it when you leave and spite it
You can't shut this fucker down
It still burns with the fire that once ignited you
You can't shut this fucker down

Shut this fucker down
Shut it down
Shut it down
You just can't shut this fucker down

They're young but you were there too
Don't think they're posing just because they never knew
The songs or the scene, it was there before you
And it's way more important than your hair and tattoos

Take what you need and leave when you're through
And keep your mouth shut when you do

And it'll be here for the down and out
And every generation that needs to shout
About injustice or
Just how we need to shut this fucker down

Shut it down
Shut it down
You just can't shut this motherfucker down

You can slag it when you leave and spite it
You can't shut this fucker down
It still burns with the fire that once ignited you
You can't shut this fucker down

Shut this fucker down
Shut it down
Shut it down
You just can't shut this fucker down

Three chords and six strings
They're screaming how they're gonna change things
They're young, they're strong and proud
We turn it up cause we like it loud

Three chords and six strings

Shut it down
You just can't shut this motherfucker down

You can slag it when you leave and spite it

You can't shut this fucker down

Shut this fucker down
Shut it down
Shut it down
You just can't shut this fucker down
