Lyrics

Shakedown (The Bootscoot Breakdown)

The devil's got a hold on me

Grab my wrists and bind my feet together

Oh, God, you tie me like a fetter

But I hope the medicine makes me better for you

Oh, God, you tie me like a fetter

But I hope the medicine makes me better for you, me better for you

God, I know you try your best but there's a war inside my chest and I'm losing

God, I know you try your best but there's a war inside my chest and I'm losing

The devil's got a hold on me

Grab my wrists and bind my feet together

But ain't no devil got a hold on me!
