Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson - Shut 'Um Down lyrics

Did you feel that rumble? Did you hear that sound? Well it wasn't no earthquake, but it shook the ground It made me think about power, like it or not: Gotta work for earth for what it's worth Cause it's the only earth we've got Shut 'um Down! If that's the only way to keep them from melting down! Shut 'um Down! If that's the only way to keep them from melting down! I've heard a lot about safety and human error A few dials and gauges is just a wing and a prayer If you need perfection, and that's what it takes Then you can't use people, don't need people You know people make mistakes... Shut 'um Down! If that's the only way to keep them from melting down! Shut 'um Down! If that's the only way to keep them from melting down!
