Modern Shakedown

You drip my heartache in gold

Threw me out with your reputation

Forty days in the cold

Hey now, I'm heading for a breakdown

Cigarette for your time

A double shot for your cheap affection

You want a pass for your crime

Hey now, I put you in your place now

Hands up, it's a breakdown

Wake up, it's a modern shakedown

I'm not the physical type

But I'm pushing you around tonight

Don't make me tell you one more time

It's a shakedown, a shakedown

I got a reason to bite

You got a taste of your own rejection

It's just a matter of time

Till I get you, I, I'm coming to get you

Ain't no doubt in my mind

I put you down with no hesitation

I'll be taking what's mine

Tension, have I got your attention?

Hands up, it's a breakdown

Wake up, it's a modern shakedown

Hands up, it's a breakdown

Wake up, it's a modern shakedown

I'm not the physical type

But I'm pushing you around tonight

Don't make me tell you one more time

It's a shakedown, a shakedown

I'm not a criminal, no

But you're messing now with my soul

Got to take back what you stole

It's a shakedown, a shakedown

Love is strange how the bridges burn

The old flame, now the table's turned

I'm fit for nothing, now I'm making up for it

Your little masquerade

Hey

Give it up, give it up now

Give it up, give it up now, now, now

I'm not the physical type

But I'm pushing you around tonight

Don't make me tell you one more time

It's a shakedown, a shakedown

I'm not a criminal, no

But you're messing now with my soul

Got to take back what you stole

It's a shakedown, a shakedown
