Select language to translate this lyric
Right time, right place coming with the right face
The world was waiting for you
Fast tide, landslide, lead us to the other side
You walked on water too
I looked you up, looked you down
Guess I saw what I wanted to anyhow
I was wrong, you read me right
Just like an insect attracted to the light
Hey now, this is a shakedown
And I've been taken like a naive fool Hands up, deceived by the make up
Better get myself back to school
Ah ah ah, ah ah ah)
Ah ah ah (ah ah ah)
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
It's a photo of front page but nothing's changed
The con remains the same
Pistol whipped, tight lipped,
sailing on a fool's ship
Off to war again
Bang the drum in the land of the free
And the lapdog will bark in the same key
You believed and you told us so
But there's no rockets in a puppet show
Hey now, this is a shakedown
And I've been taken like a little child
Smoke and mirrors and promises
Sleight of hand with a winning smite
All ah ah, (ah ah ah)
Ah ah ah (ah ah ah)
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
What kind of legacy did you leave?
You took the hope away from me
You couldn't have had a better time
To make a mark on history
I looked you up, looked you down
Guess I saw what I wanted to anyhow
I was wrong, you read me right
Just like an insect attracted to the light
Hey now, this is a shakedown
And I've been taken like a naive fool hands up, deceived by the make up
Better get myself back to school
Hey now, this is a shakedown
And I've been taken like a little child
Smoke and mirrors and promises
Sleight of hand with a winning smile
Au ah ah, (ah ah ah
Ah ah ah (ah ah ah)
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
