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. flying by, get down and get to work
High, high, we're high and dry and we're dancing in the dirt

I'm gonna shake for the sheik 'til I feel my body break
I've got reds in the bed, hear them dancing in my head
I'm gonna shake for the sheik 'til I feel my body break
I've got the blues,  bad news, my heart's dropped down to my shoes, yeah yeah

Shake

From the holy temples of Beruit to the factories of Japan
You got to shine your shoes and hide your loot and get rich while you can
Well, there's a red neck rapping at my door with bibles and grenades
And I'm fighting for a one man's war in bad black mirror shades

I'm gonna shake for the sheik 'til I feel my body break
I've got reds in the bed, hear them dancing in my head
I'm gonna shake for the sheik 'til I feel my body break
I've got the blues,  bad news, my heart's dropped down to my shoes, yeah yeah

Shake, shake

Fat cats, big ass rats jumping to the beat
Black, black oil and crack in a big black limousine

I'm gonna shake for the sheik 'til I feel my body break
I've got reds in the bed, hear them dancing in my head
I'm gonna shake for the sheik 'til I feel my body break
I've got the blues,  bad news, my heart's dropped down to my shoes

I'm gonna shake for the sheik 'til I feel my body break
I've got reds in the bed, hear them dancing in my head
I'm gonna shake for the sheik 'til I feel my body break
I've got the blues,  bad news, my heart's dropped down to my shoes, yeah yeah

Shake
Yeah, yeah
Shake
Shake
