Countdown To Shutdown
This guy Maslow he had a ladder
That you use to get up there
So what is the view like from up there?
Well you 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
It goes 4 3 2 1
Countdown To Shutdown
They are coming for the crown
They are gonna tear it down
I fully guarantee
Repeating history
Shutdown
Into the promised land
Supply but no demand
Ain't never gonna quit
Lookout 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 one is 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
It goes 4 3 2 1
Countdown To Shutdown
They are coming for the crown
They are gonna tear it down
I fully guarantee
Repeating history
Shutdown
Into the promised land
Supply but no demand
Ain't never gonna quit
Lookout baby this is it
Shut up!
4 3 2 1

So happy to see the Doctor’s cameo. When I started playing the bass guitar, I was so fascinated with showy/technical bass players, guys like Wooten, Sheehan, Myung, Flea and Claypool. Then my band covered Walk Idiot, and i was blown away by Dr Matt Destruction’s simple yet thunderous bass line coupled with Chris Dangerous’ drumming. And I can say, after that, my musicality matured a little bit.
