Skid Row "Livin' On A Chain Gang" |
Turn on the TV, �cause I got nowhere to go Seems that there�s a little trouble down in Mexico A 13-year-old boy robs a store so he can eat And they got him doing time while killers walk the streets A hungry politician is the wolf that�s at the door Hell-bent on submission and feedin� on the poor We could stare into the sun if we would open up our eyes But we paint ourselves into a corner colored in white lies Busted on a rockpile - getting dusted in the heat Shackled to the system - and draggin� my feet I�m riding on a breakdown - another whiteknuckled shakedown Feels like I�m livin� on a chain gang I�m riding on a breakdown - a suicidal shakedown Feels like I�m livin� on a chain gang A con man�s intuition can wash your sins away Send your contribution and he�ll save your soul today What can he know, has he been through hell and back He takes the cash and drives it home in a brand new Cadillac Spitting at the guard dog, burning in his wicked deal Screamin� down the railroad with no one at the wheel I�m riding on a breakdown - another whiteknuckled shakedown Feels like I�m livin� on a chain gang I�m riding on a breakdown - a suicidal shakedown Feels like I�m livin� on a chain gang (SOLO x 2) Faith healin�, superstition Cold-blooded criminal mind Getting off on high position Hey brother can you spare a dime To get me off this slaughter line I�m riding on a breakdown - another whiteknuckled shakedown Feels like I�m livin� on a chain gang I�m riding on a breakdown - a suicidal shakedown Feels like I�m livin� on a chain gang I�m riding on a breakdown - another whiteknuckled shakedown Feels like I�m livin� on a chain gang I�m riding on a breakdown - a suicidal shakedown Feels like I�m livin� on a chain gang Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
