Skid Row - Livin' On A Chain Gang Lyrics
Turn on the tv, cause I got nowhereTo goSeems that theres a little trouble downIn mexicoA 13-year-old boy robs a storeSo he can eatAnd they got him doing time whileKillers walk the streetsA hungry politician is the wolf thatsAt the doorHell-bent on submission and feedin? on the poorWe could stare into the sun if we wouldOpen up our eyesBut we paint ourselves into a cornerColored in white liesBusted on a rockpile - gettingDusted in the heatShackled to the system - andDraggin? my feetIm riding on a breakdown - anotherWhiteknuckled shakedownFeels like im livin? on a chain gangIm riding on a breakdown - a suicidalShakedownFeels like im on a chain gangA con mans intuition can washYour sins awaySend your contribution and hell saveYour soul todayWhat can he know, has he beenThrough hell and backHe takes the cash and drives it home inA brand new cadillacSpitting at the guard dog, burningIn his wicked dealScreamin? down the railroad withNo one at the wheelIm riding on a breakdown - anotherWhiteknuckled shakedownFeels like im livin? on a chain gangIm riding on a breakdown - a suicidalShakedownFeels like im on a chain gangFaith healin? superstitionCold-blooded criminal mindGetting off on high positionHey brother can you spare a dimeTo get me off this slaughter lineIm riding on a breakdown - anotherWhiteknuckled shakedownFeels like im livin? on a chain gangIm riding on a breakdown - a suicidalShakedownFeels like im on a chain gangIm riding on a breakdown - anotherWhiteknuckled shakedownFeels like im livin? on a chain gangIm riding on a breakdown - a suicidalShakedownFeels like im on a chain gang
