Shut Down — текст песни (Soul Asylum)

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
