Gil Scott-Heron - Shut 'um Down lyrics

Did you hear that rumble? Did you hear that sound? Well it wasn't no eartquake, but it shook the ground It made me think about power, like it or not: I got to 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 don't need people, can't use 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!
