[03:01.00]Heading down the freeway, just outside L. A.
[03:01.00]I was coming back with a friend of mine
[03:01.00]We'd been cruising 'round all day, yeah yeah yeah
[03:01.00]We were just getting started to move when the lights came down from behind
[03:01.00]They never told us what we had done but we're lying on the ground
[03:01.00]'What about our rights?' I said, he said 'Not here in this town'
[03:01.00]Chorus:
[03:01.00]Shake down - with the gods that show no mercy
[03:01.00]Shake down - somebody called the devil ... and he's got the gun
[03:01.00]People just kept on driving like it happens every day
[03:01.00]Sweat and blood running down my face
[03:01.00]But there was nothing I could say, no no no
[03:01.00]We couldn't move, we were scared to death but we were doing what we could
[03:01.00]Going down somebody said 'Another night in Hollywood'
[03:01.00]Chorus (2)
[03:01.00]I never knew crime was so exciting
[03:01.00]TV cops and movie stars
[03:01.00]Don't you think it's gone so far?
[03:01.00]Chorus
[03:01.00]Shake down (3)
[03:01.00](Spoken):
[03:01.00]Shake you down
