from Preacher of Obscenities by DEADNATION

/

about

When you're down on your luck, and everything is taken from you: Your job, Your electricity, Your gas, Your telephone, Your cable, Your water, Your family, and Your home: You most definitely have the "Shut Me Down Blues".

lyrics

SHUT ME DOWN BLUES

(1)
THEY CAME UP TO MY HOUSE
SO THEY CAN TURN MY WATER OFF
NOW I CAN’T TAKE NO SHOWER
OR EVEN FLUSH MY GODDAMN SHITTER

(CHORUS)
‘CUZ I GOT THE BLUES
I GOT THE SHUT ME DOWN BLUES
‘CUZ I CAN’T GET NO SLEEP
‘CUZ I GOT SUCH DIRTY SHEETS
I GOT THE SHUT ME DOWN BLUES
YA KNOW WHAT I MEAN

(2)
I DONE LOOKED OUT MY WINDOW
AND UP CAME THE GASMAN
DONE SHUT DOWN MY HEAT AND MY OVEN AND DRYER
NOW THINGS ARE GETTING’ BAD MAN
(REPEAT CHORUS)

(3)
THEY DONE SHUT DOWN MY ‘LECTRIC
AND MY CABLE WAS SHUT DOWN TOO
IF I CAN’T PAY MY BILLS NO MORE
THE THIS IS WHAT THE MAN DO
(REPEAT CHORUS)

(4)
NOW I DONE LOOKED OUT MY WINDOW
AND SOME FOLKS WAS PUTTIN’ UP A REALTY SIGN
THE BANK TRIED TO TELL ME SOONER
BUT THE PHONE BEEN SHUT DOWN LONG TIME
(REPEAT CHORUS)
