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

In the given, L.A. law

Someone's faster on the draw

No matter where you hide

I'm coming after you, yeah

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 walks 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 O.K. to want to shine

But once you step across that line

No matter where you hide

I'm coming after you

Shakedown, breakdown, takedown

Everybody walks 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

Oh, busted

Oh-oh

Shakedown, breakdown, takedown

(Breakdown, takedown)

Everybody walks into the crowded line

Breakdown, takedown, you're busted

(Takedown, shakedown)

Shakedown, breakdown, honey

(Breakdown, takedown)

Just about the time you're thinkin' it's alright

Breakdown, takedown, you're busted

(Takedown, shakedown)

Shakedown, breakdown, takedown

Everybody walks 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, oh, you're busted

Shakedown, breakdown, takedown

Everybody walks into the crowded line

Breakdown, takedown, you're busted

Let down your guard, honey

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