Dan Bull - Shut Down Lyrics






[Shizzy Sixx:]
Good day to all Americans
I'm here with a catastrophe
And a number of questions to one I'm hoping will answer these
My name is Shizzy Sixx with the DB6 News

[Dan Bull:]
And I'm Dan Bull, here to discuss the issues

[Shizzy Sixx:]
OK, recently it seems America caused a blunder
Fallen under, suffered
The reason why is what we all have wondered

[Dan Bull:]
Capitol Hill were meant to passing a bill
About how America was splashing mils
But they were lacking the skill
Lagging until it was too late and shut down

[Shizzy Sixx:]
But now that it's shutdown and sundown
Dan, what now?

[Dan Bull:]
Well, first an urgent purge of federal workers
Essential ones will stay, the rest will be worthless

[Shizzy Sixx:]
Along with being worthless, with hungry mouths and stress
Do you have any idea how many people it'll affect?

[Dan Bull:]
Well, 800,000 are not deemed essential
So their diaries are gonna be real uneventful

[Shizzy Sixx:]
The eventual tears will be a lot to see
What exactly will this do the economy?

[Dan Bull:]
We will see a drop in stocks and profits immediately
The longer it goes on, the more it eats into the GDP

[Shizzy Sixx:]
Dropping quick as a DDT, I can't help but feel choked up
Dan, since you're in the office, care to explain what's the hold up?

[Dan Bull:]
Yeah, of course
The Democrats are in a never-ending spat
With the Republicans on just how to spend their tax

[Shizzy Sixx:]
And because that, we can't relax
There's drama here
Care to tell me what that has to do with Obamacare?

[Dan Bull:]
Well, some Republicans believe that social healthcare
Is so bad for welfare, they're ready to go out there
This is nail-biting stuff for Obama's cuticles
And equally key play for major pharmaceuticals

[Shizzy Sixx:]
Seems for some of these guys, being in office is unsuitable
I'd rather see them clean cars and never see a cubicle!
I'm sorry, I'm just enraged and took a slight detour
Now my next question is: has this happened before?

[Dan Bull:]
The last shutdown was nearly 20 years ago, lasting 21 days
So this appears to show that it could take a serious amount of time
To resolve what's a fuss about a dime

[Shizzy Sixx:]
Which is a shame, it's like a game
With our funds is being played
But during the whole fiasco, does the President get paid?

[Dan Bull:]
Yep
The President's still getting sent a paycheck
With everyone in Congress, it's a safe bet

[Shizzy Sixx:]
At this point, I just feel that America neglects me
But just to be sure, how does this whole thing affect me?

[Dan Bull:]
Well, in many ways you won't be left on your own
But won't be able to get a passport or federal loan
But despite the major changes that we're sure to see
It won't affect national or social security

[Shizzy Sixx:]
Well, I suppose that's a positive, diminishing the shame
But the biggest question here is:
WHO ARE WE TO BLAME?!

[Dan Bull:]
Yeah, who's responsible for digging this hole?
Well, opinion polls suggest them in control of Congress
While about 10% less blame the President for getting us into this bloody mess

[Shizzy Sixx:]
Well Dan, I appreciate you taking out the time
To elighten us here at DB6 at five, now
We wait to see if we're out of luck now
Or if power returns to the system to end this...
SHUTDOWN

  20. A.... F....

    Affect*

  21. M.... ....

    i know this is old news now, but the president doesnt have much to do with this event, so he should get his paycheck. this thing was years in the making and there was plenty of time to prepare. preparations were simply not made by choice. states turned down funding to help as well. this was simply republicans doing their best to impede change.

    the other problem is that most everyone that speaks for *we the people* are pretty much owned by corporations and big business(weather directly or indirectly) so they really could care less whats best for us and only seek to do enough to get re-elected and keep making things easier for the companies funding them. their position is a stepping stone to a do nothing job at that company where they will be over payed and rewarded for years of fucking us.

  22. C.... ....

    not on spotify 😞

    C.... ....

    CameronAndHisCamera well it is lol

  23. m.... ....

    For someone who is disabled and quite literally depends on SSDI, SSI to live. When I heard the news I had a literal nervous breakdown that trigged my seizure disorder.I was sent a letter in advance from SS stating if the gov't was shut down I wouldn't receive my check.Worse still was my mother who gets VA disability due to her service as a Marine Gunny during Vietnam. She is partially paralyzed and depends on the VA for almost everything.She served her country honorably and this was the result.

    m.... ....

    Sorry to hear this dude

    m.... ....

    I'm so sorry.
    I really am.
    I'm so, so sorry.

  24. A.... 6....

    MORE COLLABS

  25. r.... j....

    Dan bull for British prime minister (even though I'm Irish)

    r.... j....

    Dan seems like he'd be capable of sorting a lot of the crap in the country

    r.... j....

    Absolute power corrupts absolutey!

    r.... j....

    Im from the US but i would agree she should have at least a seat in the house of commons

  26. D.... ....

    I guess if you have a successful, it really won't matter what happens in your state. LOL
    (you still have a job)

  27. D.... K....

    Fucking chills yo.

  28. T.... ....

    What the hell is that at the very very very beginning?! Scared the shit out of me as it's 4AM

    T.... ....

    After watching the video I found out it was the song looping onto itself and was him saying "Shutdown!" in a sinister voice. If you didn't hear it watch back, it's scary to hear when, again, 4AM and I have no curtains on my window, it was very load and since I had only one headphone on it sounded like it came from that way.

    T.... ....

    Nice to know I wasn't the only one who heard that! O_o

  29. R.... N....

    Why oh why isn't there a whole playlist of db6 news?

  30. R.... I....

    Fuckin nailed it!!

  31. C.... B....

    affect*

  32. M.... E....

    ughhhh my two favorites on one trackkkk I canttttttttt

  33. s.... ....

    Didn't us almost enter another one when nobody wanted to be speaker of the house

    s.... ....

    Yup we use the government shut down card once every two month. Just because some senator didn't get his way we got to pull the shut down card

  34. E.... ....

    Both of you guys were incredible.

  35. 4.... ....

    Nother shutdown

  36. R.... J....

    ....And once again we are here in late 2015 as the koch boys along with their friends TERRORIZE AMERICANS.

  37. _.... _....

    Presidents like Obama push problems farther and farther up the road, they don't care as long as the problems don't come in their presidency. This is why our economy sucks.the reason sucky economists want these jobs is because they are instantly set for life. They need to change this NOW.

  38. S.... s....

    .......uh

    S.... s....

    +Kiddie DeeDee The president still gets a paycheck aswell as everyone in congress, It's a safe bet.

  39. A.... B....

    Greed, greed, greed it's the wrost, best, and only thing we have, are, and will know

  40. O.... R....

    Oooohhhh shitttt Dan Bull & Shizzy - How have I not seen this already!

  41. M.... ....

    I don't whether or not this is hilarious or offensive... fuck it, this is hilarious, cuase it's all true xD Any how, great rap Dan!

  42. h.... d....

    "We'll see a drop in stocks immediately, the longer it goes on the more it eats in to the GDP" another government should stay out of the markets.

  43. B.... ....

    I just wonder if democrats from congress stumble upon your videos. Their just like...... "Damn! He found it out!"

    B.... ....

    Uh? "Opinion polls suggest them in control of congress, while about 10% less blame the president for getting us into this bloody mess.". Republicans hold congress..

  44. C.... D....

    I was proud at how tolerant our people were, only one shootout. Thank God it's over.

  45. I.... ....

    awesome Dan  

  46. N.... A....

    This. Is. Awesome.

  47. J.... ....

    Wait...Dan did a couple of songs with Shizzy and didn't get a diss written by the Jokerr?! What sorcery is this?!

  48. T.... J....

    most the comments are about politics.. Here are the days its good to be british

    T.... J....

    fuck that,look at iceland! we dont have to worry about shit over here!

    T.... J....

    @Arnar Er Besturson do you guys even have a government? lol

    T.... J....

    @Luke Hillyer we do....they just don't do much.

  49. M.... ....

    MY EYES LIT UP WHEN I SAW THE TITLE OMFG

  50. I.... J....

    yeah blame the president, easy cop out, he can only use executive order so many times..

  51. T.... ....

    1337 comments! oh i blew it didint i?

  52. t.... b....

    Ads that are 30 seconds and you can't skip them -_-

    t.... b....

    @scott caron but dan bull makes money of ads and if you turn on adblock  he won't make money from you viewing his video

    t.... b....

    @fionn coyne And they won't be in the minority either. Most people on youtube use adblock anyway. I do, but I turn it off for the people that I like.

    t.... b....

    @qwe2433 ah ok

    t.... b....

    2 min ad no skip (seriously wtf)

    t.... b....

    @fionn coyne Oh yeah.....I guess using it does make me a bit of a dick. SorryDan.

  53. A.... B....

    Dan should do this more

  54. w.... ....

    Wow! This is awesome. More rappers need to develop balls and rap about how messed up the political system is.

  55. S.... i....

    What you should be learning is
    the shutdown was because of conservavitves
    who want to close the door on the poor
    and take all their profits ashore
    to a swiss bank account
    if we don't raise taxes on the rich how
    the fuck are we suppossed to get out of this financial drought
    Obama's tries to comprimise
    which today mean he's spineless
    because Republicans and Tories are trying to destroy us
    But we will be strong, our brothers will carry ya
    We've overcome worse were the United States of America.

    S.... i....

    And I'm white and like 17, so go easy on how bad i am

    S.... i....

    I like it, and it is pretty much true.

  56. A.... L....

    Shizzy Six makes more sense than Shizzy Veye which is how I pronounced it in my head.

  57. L.... ....

    Thing is, the citizens are to blame for anything happening in the government. Since we have the ability to alter or abolish the government we could easily tell them what to do.

    L.... ....

    Not really... A lot wouldn't happen if we could tell them what to do...

    L.... ....

    The citizens are partly to blame because of there ignorance on every issue of importance. The citizens also are locked into there political ideologies that they refuse to process the fact that there may be more than one or two sides to every issue. And the fact that in America at least 90% of the news is controlled/owned by 6 corporations. This also leads to ignorance and propaganda. 

  58. B.... M....

    SHIZZY!!!!

  59. J.... ....

    Don't mean to be that guy but 2:08 *affects me ;)

  60. N.... G....

    I like how you sound so condescending to Republicans saying "Obamacare is bad" and now Obamacare is f**king things up.

  61. P.... M....

    HEY GUYS I FOUND THIS AWESOME THING UNDER THIS VIDEO BETWEEN THE DESC AND THE VIDEO ITSELF IS A BUTTON THAT SAYS SUBSCRIBE CLICK IT NOW!!!!

    P.... M....

    damn caps on again

    P.... M....

    @Dante ArteriustheRavenRebel Hey. Hey you. See that arrow on the right of the bloody comment? Click it. It edits the comment.

  62. D.... S....

    @***** is my role model :)

  63. C.... F....

    Does Dan bull live in america or the UK

  64. R.... ....

    Wait is he saying it wasn't Obama's fault cause it was fuc in Obamacare mo like ombama don't care

    R.... ....

    Obamacare gives poor people healthcare, that means he does fucking care. Are you an idiot?

    R.... ....

    @Sikeman214 No it doesn't. It requires people buy it or be fined.

    R.... ....

    @Sikeman214 If you don't understand what you are talking about it is really ignorant to call someone an idiot.

    R.... ....

    @BigfootPlays It requires people to pay, yes, but it also provides state health insurance for a discounted price.

    @The Best CDub Just because you don't agree with someone's political preference, doesn't mean you know any more than them.

    R.... ....

    @The Best CDub That's only *one part* of it. It makes it so health insurance is better for Americans, aswell as stopping prejudice insurance actions like not covering a specific sex or people with specific conditions. It also provides subsidies for people who can not afford healthcare. I've looked it up, I was wrong in the matter that it gives healthcare, however it opened a window not previously opened for people who could not afford healthcare and didn't know how to buy it because they never had help from the government, but they do now. If you'd stop being greedy, you'd realize how much this helps poor people.

  65. P.... S....

    do more with him you guys do good rapping together

  66. L.... ....

    Wow, simply wow.

  67. T.... ....

    Dan keep it up, I'm very happy I discovered your channel earlier today!

  68. D.... ....

    i can explain it in 1 word. ObamaCare

    D.... ....

    "Some republicans believe that social healthcare is so bad for welfare they're ready to go out there.".

  69. S.... F....

    this guy has won at life 

  70. c.... ....

    Isn't it depressing when a song of 'some guy on the internet' is more objective than a  News Station (I am looking at you Fox News).
    In this entire song, Dan and Shizzy didn't take ANY side of the debate, not the Republican nor the Democrat.

    c.... ....

    To be fair. Dan Bull lives in the UK.

    The idea of 2 parties is probably laughable to him so him taking one side or another is unlikely.

  71. K.... ....

    I would love the instrumental for this...

  72. S.... ....

    Protect fair use and copyright law. Protect Dan Bull and all other creative arts.
    Copy and paste if you agree.

  73. D.... ....

    different but actually really informantive

  74. B.... N....

    62 ppl can get a BIG FUCK YOU!

  75. S.... ....

    Actually I learned more while watching this then school

  76. K.... ....

    My Canadian an esters would be disguisted .

  77. C.... A....

    THis hardly explained anything...

  78. t.... ....

    As far as news+rap goes, it reminds me of Channel One News (mostly watched in history classes in high schools).  Every Friday to end the show, she summarize the headlines of the week with what they call the week-in rap.

  79. A.... T....

    That was fkin quality :D you should have ur on news channel lol

  80. D.... R....

    You guys need to collab more often

  81. A.... F....

    Why does this British dude know so much about American politics?

    A.... F....

    Well its so easy to understand the system is stupid:) well i guess if you're an american its hard

    A.... F....

    @Teh Riizeh Not all are dumb, but most, especially those who blindly support anything our government does.

    A.... F....

    @Teh Riizeh I could see that. Though, those who aren't drones would most likely be outnumbered by those who are. It's baffling to me how mindless some people are here. For example, my friend says that America is awesome, he hasn't told me why, but it is pretty clear that it is just because of our military, and if you say anything negative against America, you will be met with the response of, "You're a queer" from him. These are just some of the reasons I want to get out and move to a different country.

    A.... F....

    @Teh Riizeh I consider myself Swedish because I have mostly Swedish blood.

  82. W.... M....

    2:06
    Both effect and affect are in that segment, just pointing it out, I was one of the first to comment lol, watching this again! :D

  83. t.... ....

    Is The government still shutdown?

    t.... ....

    No.....

  84. P.... P....

    I love this! I didn't know much about it, so what a great way to explain it to us :D

  85. F.... ....

    Nice rhymes

  86. A.... ....

    the US goverment shutting down does not just affect the US so yes we do

  87. s.... ....

    yet america has the right to invade countries if they don't like the government of said county?

  88. B.... ....

    "Dan since you're in the office..." Wait, what office is Dan in?

  89. b.... ....

    Compared to some other countries we're lucky.

  90. T.... B....

    Heh, silly Americans...

  91. c.... ....

    DICK DICK DICK DICK DICK!!!! HAHAHAHHAHAHA

  92. E.... ....

    I live in America and the government is a corrupted mess that needs to be purified

  93. F.... ....

    true i hate hate hardcore bronys im just a minor brony that watches the show with gf sometimes

  94. m.... ....

    Why is it called Obamacare? Think in every other country free health care but in the USA it is called Obamacare I wonder why this because Obama is starting to look like a bad president think he promised a lot of change not a lot of change has happened and now his reputation is slipping so the Democrats know the only way they can call shots is if they're represented by the president and since it is likely that he wont be voted they decided to create this and put his name on it so he looks better.

  95. m.... ....

    You make no sense could you rephrase it please?

  96. m.... ....

    In England as well :P

  97. J.... P....

    I am sorry I retread my statement and I still believe the u.s is f.u.c.k.e.d it's stupid but people in other country's who we the USA brought down with us and soon anger well fill them and there is nothing stopping them from pushing that button to start the nukes. P.s. To doomman117 were you calling me a cunt just asking? Peace
