The Shakedown Lyrics by Brother Dege

Farmer’s Almanac

2018

Soldiers and slaves
Pounding halos and chains
Marching somewhere the same
Always somewhere the same

All along the way
All along the way
Till it goes down
Yet I got rent here to pay
Up in the long lost charade
Of the shakedown

Riots and raids
Rolling blackouts & tanks
Give them a kick if they don’t behave
Give them a kick if they won’t obey

All along the way
All along the way till it goes down
Yeah I got rent here to pay up
In the long lost charade of the shakedown

And I got no time to waste
Swear to god
There may be hell to pay
When it goes down
For the shakedown
For the shakedown

I called out my name
And my number in vain
Always somewhere the same
Always somewhere the same

All along the way
All along the way
Till it goes down
Yet I got rent here to pay
Up in the long lost charade
Of the shakedown

Man, I got no time to waste
Swear to god
There may be hell to pay
When it goes down

Oh, lord
Here comes the shakedown
Bracing for the shakedown
Bracing for the shakedown
For the shakedown
For the shakedown
Here comes the shakedown
Here comes the shakedown
Here comes the shakedown
Here comes the shakedown
