Shake For The Shiek Lyrics

Shake For The Shiek lyrics

all around the big bad world

 on the c.i.a. machine

 ten ten the President's men

 in a big black limousine

 there's an i.c.b.m. flyin by

 get down and get to work

 high, high, we're high and dry

 and we're dancing in the dirt

 

 chorus 

 i'm going to shake for the sheik

 'till I feel my body break

 I've got reds in the bed

 hear them dancing in my bed

 going to shake for the sheik

 'till I feel my body break

 I've got the blues - bad news

 my heart's dropped down to my shoes

 yeah yeah

 

 from the holy temples of Beruit

 to the factories of Japan

 got to shine your shoes and hide your loot

 and get rich while you can

 there's a red neck rapping at my door

 with bibles and grenades

 and fighting for a one man's war

 in bad black mirror shades

 

 chorus

 

 fat cats big ass rats

 jumping to the beat

 black, black oil

 and crack

 in a big black limousine

 

 chorus
