- Shakedown Lyrics / with translationsNo matter what you think you pulled 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
No matter how the race is run 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 line
Breakdown
Takedown
You're busted!
Let down your guard
Honey, just about the time you're thinkin' it's alright
Breakdown
Takedown
You're busted!
This is a town where everyone is reachin' for the top
This is a place where second best will never do
It's OK to want to shine, but once you step across that line
No matter where you hide I'm comin' after you

The text expresses a certain degree of fatalism when it comes to difficulties and rivals, thus, communicating the thought that regardless of one's actions, they will be forced to face the very same obstacles and opponents in their chase of dreams, sooner or later. Shakedown's lyrics mainly highlight the feelings of angst, despair, anger, social commentary, and reflection on societal issues.
