Skid Row - Livin' On A Chain Gang lyrics

rate me

Turn on the TV, 碿ause I got nowhere

to go

Seems that there磗 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磗

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磎 riding on a breakdown - another

whiteknuckled shakedown

Feels like I磎 livin?on a chain gang

I磎 riding on a breakdown - a suicidal

shakedown

Feels like I磎 on a chain gang

A con man磗 intuition can wash

your sins away

Send your contribution and he磍l 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磎 riding on a breakdown - another

whiteknuckled shakedown

Feels like I磎 livin?on a chain gang

I磎 riding on a breakdown - a suicidal

shakedown

Feels like I磎 on a chain gang

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磎 riding on a breakdown - another

whiteknuckled shakedown

Feels like I磎 livin?on a chain gang

I磎 riding on a breakdown - a suicidal

shakedown

Feels like I磎 on a chain gang

I磎 riding on a breakdown - another

whiteknuckled shakedown

Feels like I磎 livin?on a chain gang

I磎 riding on a breakdown - a suicidal

shakedown

Feels like I磎 on a chain gang
