Текст песни: Shakedown + перевод

Right time, right place coming with the right face

The world was waiting for you

Fast tide, landslide, lead us to the other side

You walked on water too

I looked you up, looked you down

Guess I saw what I wanted to anyhow

I was wrong, you read me right

Just like an insect attracted to the light

Hey now, this is a shakedown

And I’ve been taken like a naive fool

Hands up, deceived by the make up

Better get myself back to school

Ah ah ah (ah ah ah)

Ah ah ah (ah ah ah)

Ah ah ah ah ah ah

It’s a photo of front page but nothing’s changed

The con remains the same

Pistol whipped, tight lipped, sailing on a fool’s ship

Off to war again

Bang the drum in the land of the free

And the lapdog will bark in the same key

You believed and you told us so

But there’s no rockets in a puppet show

Hey now, this is a shakedown

And I’ve been taken like a little child

Smoke and mirrors and promises

Sleight of hand with a winning smite

All ah ah (ah ah ah)

Ah ah ah (ah ah ah)

Ah ah ah ah ah ah

What kind of legacy did you leave?

You took the hope away from me

You couldn’t have had a better time

To make a mark on history

I looked you up, looked you down

Guess I saw what I wanted to anyhow

I was wrong, you read me right

Just like an insect attracted to the light

Hey now, this is a shakedown

And I’ve been taken like a naive fool

Hands up, deceived by the make up

Better get myself back to school

Hey now, this is a shakedown

And I’ve been taken like a little child

Smoke and mirrors and promises

Sleight of hand with a winning smile

Au ah ah (ah ah ah)

Ah ah ah (ah ah ah)

Ah ah ah ah ah ah
