"Countdown To Shutdown" lyrics - THE HIVES

[Intro:]
4, 3, 2, 1
Countdown to shutdown

This guy, Maslow, he had a ladder
That you used to get up there
What's the view like from up there?
Well, he can't see the bottom of the stairs
And so it goes around the world
A million boys in love with a dozen girls
Tighten the screw but not for you
'Til they can't figure out what to do

[Pre-Chorus:]
It goes 4, 3, 2, 1
Countdown to shutdown
Whoo

[Chorus:]
They're coming for the crown
They're gonna tear it down
I fully guarantee
Repeating history
Shutdown
Whoo
Into the promised land
Supply but no demand
Ain't never gonna quit
Look out, baby, this is it
Shutdown

My guy Ponzi, he had a scheme
And the world is like a head of hair
Some are waiting for their share
Some are bald, and one's a billionaire
It's an enigma wrapped in a riddle
Enshrouded in a mystery
Got all the facts, got all the figures
But with all of them, you disagree

[Pre-Chorus:]
It goes 4, 3, 2, 1
Countdown to shutdown
Whoo

[Chorus:]
They're coming for the crown
They're gonna tear it down
I fully guarantee
Repeating history
Shutdown
Whoo
Into the promised land
Supply but no demand
Ain't never gonna quit
Lookout, baby, this is it
Shut up

[Outro:]
4, 3, 2, 1
Countdown to shutdown
Countdown to shutdown
Shutdown
Countdown to shutdown
Shutdown
Shutdown
Shutdown
Countdown to shutdown
