Hollywood cops
Shoot each other in bed
And I wouldn't go to see 'em
They put the checkbook to my head

Tinkertown liquors
Emperor's checkers
Some **** on the needle
Like your record

The fifth gripping week
An absolute must
One of the years
Best ain't sayin' much
Throwin' us [bad word] 
As we're starting to drown
We're all shook down
All shook down
Shook down
All shook down

She don't do dance
And she don't do us
The black and white blues
Oh yeah I got 'em in color

The fifth gripping week
An absolute might
One of the years
Best in sight
They throw us [bad word] 
Says we're starting to drown
We're all shook down
All shook down
All shook down
Shook down

Praises they sing
register rings
One of the time
That nobody brings
Praises they sing
Shake my hand as I drown
All shook down
All shook down
