No matter what you think you pull you'll find it's not enough

No matter who you think you know you won't get through

It's a given L.A. law

Someone's faster on the draw

No matter where you hide I'm comin' after you

yeah



No matter how the race is run it always ends the same

Another room without a view awaits downtown

You can shake me for a while

Live it up in style

No matter what you do I'm gonna take you down



CHORUS:

Shakedown

Breakdown

Takedown

Everybody wants into the crowded line

Breakdown

Takedown

You're busted

Let down

Your guard

Honey, just about the time you're thinkin' it's alright

Breakdown

Takedown

You're busted





This is a town where everyone is reachin' for the top

This is a place where second best will never do

It's ok to want to shine

But once you step across that line

No matter where you hide I'm comin' after you



Repeat chorus
