Modern Shakedown Songtext
von Dear Rouge

You draped my heartache in gold
Threw me out with your reputation
40 days in the cold
Hey now, l′m heading for a break down

Cigarette for your time
A double shot for your cheap affection
You wanna prize for your crime?
Hey now, l'll put you in your place now

Hands up
It′s the break down
Wake up
It's a modern shakedown

I'm not the physical type
But l′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 l getcha, l'm coming to getcha

Ain′t no doubt in my mind
I'll put you down with no hesitation
I′ll be taking what's mine
Tension, have l got your attention?

Hands up
It's the break down
Wake up
It′s a modern shakedown

Hands up
It′s the break down
Wake up
It's a modern shakedown

I′m not the physical type
But l'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 'round with my soul
I Gotta take back what you stole
It′s a shakedown, a shakedown

Love is strange
How the bridges burn
Hey, old flame
Now the table′s turned
Awe, l fell for nothing
Now l'm making up for it
Your little masquerade

Hey, ey, ey, ey
Give it up
Give it up now
Give it up

Give it up now, now, now
I′m not the physical type
But l'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 'round with my soul
I gotta take back what you stole
It′s a shakedown, a shakedown
