Shakedown

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
