Bob Seger - Shakedown lyrics

No matter what you think you pull, you'll find it's not enough

No matter who you think you know, you won't get through

It's a given L.A. law

Someone's faster on the draw

No matter where you hide

I'm coming after you

No matter how the race is won, it always ends the same

Another room without a view awaits downtown

You can shake me for a while

Live it up in style

No matter what you do

I'm gonna take you down

Shakedown, breakdown, takedown

Everybody wants into the crowded line

Breakdown, takedown, you're busted

Let down, your guard, honey

Just about the time you’re thinking it's alright

Breakdown, takedown, you're busted

This is a town where everyone is reaching for the top

This is a place where second best will never do

It's okay you want to shine

But once you step across that line

No matter where you hide

I'm coming after you

Shakedown, breakdown, takedown

Everybody wants into the crowded line

Breakdown, takedown, you're busted

Shakedown, breakdown, honey

Just about the time you’re thinking it's alright

Breakdown, takedown, you're busted

Ah, you're busted

Shakedown, breakdown, takedown

Everybody wants into the crowded line

Breakdown, takedown, you're busted

Shakedown, breakdown, honey

Just about the time you’re thinking it's alright

Breakdown, takedown, you're busted

Shakedown, breakdown, takedown

Everybody wants into the crowded line

Breakdown, takedown, you're busted

Shakedown, breakdown, honey

Just about the time you’re thinking it's alright

Breakdown, takedown, you're busted

Shakedown, breakdown, takedown

Everybody wants into the crowded line

Breakdown, takedown, you're busted
