Looking like demons
looking like saints
armed and dangerous
in warrior paint
holding out, holding in
shaking it down
looking like misfits
in a comatose town
shake-down, shake-down,
shake-down
a shaka shaka
Pilgrim father
in dismay
News of the World
Match of the Day
can’t understand it
can’t hold his tongue
‘cos it wasn’t like that
at all at all
when he was young
shaking it down, shake-down,
shake-down
a shaka shaka
faces in Perspex – faces in cages
don’t give no charity – they don’t pay the wages
once a fortnight – shaking it down
shaking it down 2 3 4
Looking like demons
looking like saints
looking like vengeance
in warrior paint
holding on, holding on
holding it tight
looking like pirates
ready to fight
shake-down, shake-down,
shake-down
a shaka shaka
