Shake For The Sheik Lyrics By The Escape Club

    all around the big bad world
    on the cia machine
    ten ten the president’s men
    in a big black limousine
    there’s an icbm flyin by
    get down and get to work
    high high we’re high and dry
    and we’re dancing in the dirt

    i’m going to shake for the sheik
    ’till i feel my body break
    i’ve got reds in the bed
    hear them dancing in my heed
    going to shake for the sheik
    ’till i feel my body break
    i’ve got the blues bad news
    my heart’s dropped down to my shoes
    yeah yeah

    from the holy temples of beruit
    to the factories of japan
    got to shine your shoes and hide your loot
    and get rich while you can
    there’s a red neck rapping at my door
    with bibles and grenades
    and fighting for a one man’s war
    in bad black mirror shades

    fat cats big ass rats
    jumping to the beat
    black black oil
    and crack
    in a big black limousine
