SHAKEDOWN
HEY!
two headed monster on the big blue screen
they tell you how to spend your dime
now all the minutes change to hours
then the days fly by
and nothing occupies your mind
beautiful people tell you what to wear
and who to be
and what to buy
it's time to leave it all behind and...
rise up! dance to a different beat
rise up! shakedown!
rise up! free your mind of what they say
rise up! shakedown!
rise up! dance to a different beat
rise up! free your mind of what they say
rise up! dance to a different beat
rise up! shakedown!
without a doubt they've thought of everything of every way to steal your time
now all the days have changed to weeks
and still the years fly by
never thought to question why
pretty people
all those people
talking at you
talking what when why
come on and leave it all behind and...
rise up! dance to a different beat
rise up! shakedown!
rise up! free your mind of what they say
rise up! shakedown!
rise up! dance to a different beat
rise up! free your mind of what they say
rise up! dance to a different beat
rise up! shakedown!
yeah you're all dressed up and you got
nothing to lose
and i see you've brought your
dancing shoes, well
let's figure out how to use those things, yeah!
c'mon c'mon c'mon dance with me!
dance, i said!
rise up! dance to a different beat
rise up! shakedown!
rise up! free your mind of what they say
rise up! shakedown!
rise up! dance to a different beat
rise up! free your mind of what they say
rise up! dance to a different beat
rise up! shakedown!
rise up! shakedown!
rise up! shakedown!
rise up!
// ABOUT THIS SONG
"Live, "Shakedown" is the funnest to play live. the last show was so great, everybody got on stage and danced with us, it was so fun." - AECHO
“Shakedown” embodies the spirit of the record which is you know, it’s time to make a change and, you know dance to a different beat which is a great thing to be able to say. - AECHO
"Shakedown" I wrote about a two-headed monster on the big blue screen. It's a dancable view on (the situation.) To me all bands, all candidates sound the same. I was just fed up. So, what's better than to make a song about it?" - AECHO
“Shakedown” is a call to action, to change. A call to bring out the best in yourself. Not to listen to others, but to trust yourself. - AECHO
“Shakedown” is an anthem to do your best. AECHO
"Shakedown" came from Echo's own disgust with what she saw around her.
