You Can’t Shut Us Lyrics by Irene Córcoles

2021

[Verse 1]
School kills mental health that equals
Artists being born like icarus
Each day closer to the sun
Now we burn, look what you've done
We're looking for something
That maybe might not be real
But we prefer to be dead rather
Than being a third wheel

[Pre-Chorus]
Uniforms, scholarships, just to trap you in
A system that wants to kill all your self esteem
I don't give a fuck if you do think it is okay
To kill the creativity running through my veins

[Chorus]
You can't shut us down
You can't shut us down (Mmm-Mmm)
You can't shut us down (Down, down, down)
You can't shut us down

[Verse 2]
Okay, let's be clear
I don't make the rules in here, but
Anxiety pills appear
To be a common medicine
School doesn't kill artists
That's a very stupid quote
It's just the main culprit
Of youth suicide in this world

[Pre-Chorus]
Now if we go out and scream
To everyone how it did feel
To be left out without a dream
They'll try to shut us like machines

[Chorus]
You can't shut us down
You can't shut us down (Mmm-Mmm)
You can't shut us down (Down, down, down)
You can't shut us down

[Outro]
(¡Argh, Dios! Es que no sale, no sale)
(Buaah)
You can't shut us down
You can't shut us down (Mmm-Mmm)
You can't shut us down (Down, down, down)
You can't shut us down
