Shakedown
No matter what you think you hold, 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 comin' after you
Yep
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 goin' to take you down
Shakedown, breakdown, takedown
Everybody wants into the crowded light
Breakdown, takedown, you're busted
Let down your guard, honey
Just about the time you think that 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 to want to shine, but once you step across that line
No matter where you hide, I'm comin' after you
Shakedown, breakdown, takedown
Everybody wants into the crowded light
Breakdown, takedown, you're busted
Shakedown, breakdown, honey
Just about the time you think that it's alright
Breakdown, takedown, you're busted
Oh, busted
Shakedown, breakdown, takedown
Everybody wants into the crowded light
Breakdown, takedown, shakedown, you're busted
Shakedown, breakdown, takedown, honey
Just about the time you think that it's alright
Breakdown, takedown, shakedown, you're busted
Shakedown, breakdown, takedown
Everybody wants into the crowded light
Breakdown, takedown, you're busted
Let down your guard, honey
Just about the time you think that it's alright
Breakdown, takedown, oh, you're busted
Shakedown, breakdown, takedown
Everybody wants into the crowded light
Breakdown, takedown, you're busted
Let down your guard, honey
Just about the time you think that it's alright
Breakdown, takedown
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 comin' after you
Yep
No matter how the race is won, it always ends the same
Another room without a view awaits downtown

Let down your guard, honey
Just about the time you think that it's alright
Breakdown, takedown
