Shakedown Lyrics

Great song from a great movie.

The song is about crime and the glamour that comes with it, Bob is singing from the point of view of a relentless cop who's basically saying that "You may be flying high, but I'll get you sooner or later"

Shakedown=The cop coming after the criminal Breakdown=The Criminal's glamorous lifestyle coming to an end Takedown=The cop makes his move, catching the criminal in the act
You're busted=Speaks for itself.

My Interpretation
