(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!

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!
(Huh!)

They'll hit you with no warning
They'll gather by your plate
