(Huh!) (Huh!) (All Right!) They'll hit you with no warning They'll gather by your plate Holdin' all the cards, They're dealin' out your fate A frozen wind is blowin' It coats your eyes with ice Takin' down your name They say they know your price It's hard to see what's right in front of you- They're takin' you down They'll be breakin' you down They'll be shakin' you down They'll be bringin' you down Oh- they'll be takin' you down... (Huh!) (Huh!) They're gonna write you up And then they're gonna write you off They're makin' you so hard You never can be soft There's gotta be a limit To what you're gonna stand Oh, they're slappin' you up Takin' all that they can You can't believe what we're headed to- They're takin' you down They'll be breakin' you down They'll be shakin' you down They'll be bringin' you down Oh- they'll be takin' you down ...Lord! {Harmonica Solo} It's hard to see what's right in front of you- They're takin' you down They'll be breakin' you down They'll be shakin' you down They'll be bringin' you down They'll be takin' you down They'll be breakin' you down They'll be shakin' you down They'll be breakin' you down Oh- they'll be takin' you down!
