Lyrics of 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 till the judgment day"
And he said:
"don't tell me no lies, give me alibi's"
"'cause if you cross my path you've been doing life"
It's a dirty lie
It's a shakedown -- and it's a nervous shakedown
A nervous shakedown -- another nervous shakedown
"take you dime" said the man, "you can make one call"
And get 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
It's a shakedown -- and it's a nervous shakedown
A nervous shakedown -- another nervous shakedown
Law is gonna get you this time and throw away the key
