lyrics

Load up your flatbed your gonna leave tonight
There’s just too much interests here we want you out of sight.

Ah yeah just a detail here when you pay we do protect

Now your whole world just came tumbling down
when they came to shake you down

And you wonder if you have to be
the clown that has to pay
Why can't you be just left in peace
and mind your own troubles
says who that that is wrong

All the details of the money you that make ain't no secret at all
They knew how much you owe the bank they know where your kids go to school

Ah just a little detail here, they say, why don't you keep it cool

You know we're actually on your side now don't you be a fool.

And you wonder if you have to be
the clown that has to pay
Why can't you be just left in peace
and mind your own troubles
says who that that can't be right.

Next day when you wake up you find that your business has been destroyed
It seems that who is wrong violently thinks he's right
And you sit down in between what's left of your dreams

What a way to make some dough, don't they see it's so obscene

They shook you down they tore you up they are stepping on your face
They said it's you but really it is them who lost the trace.
