The Replacements › Lyrics › All Shook Down

Hollywood cops shoot each other in bed
And I wouldn't go to see 'em
They put the checkbook to my head

Tinker town liquors, the emperor's checkers
Some s*** on the needle
Like your record

The fifth grippin' weak, an absolute must
One of the years, best ain't sayin' much
Throwin' us to trunks as we're starting to drown
We're all shook down, we're all shook down
Shook down, all shook down

She don't do dance and she don't do us
The black and white blues
Oh yeah, I got 'em in color

The fifth grippin' weak, an absolute must
One of the years, best ain't sayin'
They throw us to trunks as we're starting to drown
And now we're all shook down, we're all shook down, down
Shook down, down, all shook down, down

Praises they sing, a register rings
One of the time that nobody brings
Praises they sing, shake my hand as I drown
All shook down, down, down
All shook down, down, all shook down, down, down, down
All shook down, down, down
