Nervous Shakedown

"Freeze," said the man cruisin' the beat
 "You get your hands up, spread your feet"
 "Don't you move an inch," I heard him say
 "Or you'll be doin' time until the judgement day"
 And he said, "Don't tell me no lies, give me alibise
 'Cause if you cross my path, you'll be doin' life"
 It's a dirty lie
 It's a shakedown
 And it's a nervous shakedown
 Another shakedown
 Another nervous shakedown
 Well, it's a shakedown
 And it's a nervous shakedown
 We got a shakedown
 Another nervous shakedown
 
 It's lookin' like a set-up

 "Take a dime," said the man, "You can make one call"
 "You get a one-way ticket to the county hall"

 And when he smiled at me, it was a one-man show
 He said, "Two to five, the jury dicides
 Double parole, if you survive"
 It's a dirty lie
 It's a shakedown
