Lyrics
Shakedown
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They come into our life not even listening baby.
Long hallways dressed in gold to justify the souls that they've sold.
We'll start a revolution and bring them to their knees
You know that this will be a shakedown, a shakedown baby.
We'll start a revolution and bring them to their knees
You know that this will be a shakedown, a shakedown baby.
Our eyes are open so synthetic suits have no where to go.
Our eyes are open so synthetic suits have no where to go.
No facist lies, or censored cries.
Cause now's the time for us to rise.
We'll burn their bibles and starve their families.
So a word to the wise "Don't fuck with us".
We'll start a revolution and bring them to their knees
You know this will be a shakedown, a shakedown baby.
Gonna be a shakedown. Gonna be a shakedown.
Gonna be a shakedown. Gonna be a shakedown.
We'll start a revolution and bring them to their knees
You know that this will be a shakedown, a shakedown baby.
We'll start a revolution and bring them to their knees
You know that this will be a shakedown, a shakedown baby.
