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
