Authority Zero - Shakedown In Juarez lyrics

It was the summer of confusion back in 2006 There was a stench on the air Down by the border some kids With only one thing in question Would they make it through the night? Or end up in a suitcase on front of El Paso Times See times they were changing There was violence in the streets Down in Juarez Mexico getting rowdy off the beat With tequila in the air and booze in our system It was a shakedown in Juarez you couldn't have missed them It was a shakedown in Juarez It was a shakedown in Juarez Rolling across the boarder around four a.m. We should have known we had it coming when we couldn't get in So we clipped on through the fence and slipped right past the feds Down Avenida, Past the clubs and right on past the stench See there was something in the air as we walked that night On down the main strip no more lights and only devils in sight Anyone who dares enter finds them selves in some danger Read the cardboard box as things they only got stranger Whistles in the night night that signaled we were alone Up pulls a paddy wagon with 666 on the door so Hands above our heads and backs against the wall Out comes a knife just one excuse was needed that's all How much for one ticket and yeah you know what I mean How much it gonna cost to set these here gringos free? A hundred bucks a pop and you can save your skin It was a shakedown in Juarez or never see them again Moving moving Jumping jumping in the streets and Running running Keeping up the pace Hoping hoping For a brave new future Dying dying Like it's the only way Shakedown yeah you'd better keep it moving
