We're all livin' on the razor's edge
A sheer drop - off either side
Sometimes it's hard to keep our feet on the line
Quite impossible without a guide
We think good can come from bad that's refined
But God doesn't see it that way
We can't carry all the baggage we want
On this journey we're committed to take
Chorus:
Shakedown - got to come clean
Do you know what it means?
Shakedown - who do you please?
Ask Him, down on your knees
The track ahead is always narrow and straight
A race you're selected to run
And if you plan to make it to the finish line
There's some things that really got to be done
