Soul Asylum - Shut Down lyrics

rate me

I've been vindicated

I've been loved and hated

I've been pulled aside and told that life was overrated

No, I don't believe it

I just can't conceive it

I can write all night but in the morning I can't read it

Oh no, don't know what's the matter

Stuck up on a ladder, scared of coming down

If I don't get what I want

And there ain't enough to go around

I become oblivious to the obvious

Just ridiculous

As I flip the pages

You're a time that ageless

In between us lies a calm before the storm that rages

Though we were related

Couldn't be separated

Tried to get ahead but only got decapitated

If I don't get what you want

And you don't get what I need

We become oblivious to the obvious

Just dysfunctional

Shut down

When I can't get keep from getting down

And I grow tired of hangin' 'round

I become invisible, unlivable

Just dysfunctional

Shut down
