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

It's a given L.A law, someone's faster on the draw

No matter where you hide I'm comin' after you, yeah 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 gonna 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 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 line

Breakdown, takedown, you're busted

Shakedown, breakdown honey

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

Breakdown, takedown, you're busted, oh you're busted Shakedown, breakdown, takedown

Everybody wants into the crowded line

Breakdown, takedown, you're busted

Shakedown, breakdown honey

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

Breakdown, takedown, you're busted 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, oh you're busted 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
