Shake for the Sheik

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 Beirut
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
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
Fat cats big ass rats
Jumping to the beat
Black, black oil
And crack
In a big black limousine
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
