Nervous Shakedown Lyrics - Flick Of The Switch - Ac/dc

Freeze, said the man cruisin' the beat 

You get your hands up and spread your feet 

Don't you move an inch, I heard him say 

Or you'll be doin' time until the judgment day 

And he said, Don't tell me no lies, give me alibis 

Cause if you cross my path, you'll be doin' life 

It's a dirty lie 

[Chorus] 

It's a shakedown 

And it's a nervous shakedown 

A nervous shakedown 

Another nervous shakedown 

It's a shakedown 

And it's a nervous shakedown 

We got a shakedown 

Another nervous shakedown 

(It's more like a set-up) 

Take a dime, said the man, you can make one call 

You got a one-way ticket to the County Hall 

Well, the judge looked high and I looked low 

And when he smiled at me it was a one-man show 

He said, Two to five, the jury decides 

Double parole if you survive 

It's a dirty lie 

[Chorus] 

Law is gonna get you this time 

And throw away the key 

[Chorus] 

Shake you down, shake you down 

And it's another shakedown 

Well it's a shakedown 

Another nervous shakedown 

Shake you down, shake you down 

And it's a nervous shakedown 

It's a shakedown
