Story Behind The Song
It's an "anti-buckpassing' song, generated from feelings of discontent with the way of the world and the lack of progress with my music. Then it dawned on me that really it's not anone's fault but my own & I should shut the troubles out & get on with it!

Lyrics
Shutdown
© Andy Staynor & Brad Capper
Shutdown and turn around
You can?t see but it?s always up to you
Stop always looking down
It?ll do you no good
Shutdown and turn around
You say you believe it
But the words just don?t ring true
Less crazy runaround
You know that you should
So you?re looking for the way
To make it through
Have you seen the light of day
Shining down on you?
Just look up ? to it
And see the truth ? it?s all around
Look and see
His love in everything that you do
Shutdown and turn around
What you?ll be is coming through for you
Shutdown and hit the ground
Hey it?s time to go and you know
Shutdown and turn around
You follow the leader
If you know that the feeling is hip
Shutdown and turn around
Just don?t go too slow
Shut down and turn around
You can?t see but it?s all there for you
Shut down and hit the ground
The best things in life are for free
