Skid Row LyricsAlbum: Slave To The GrindLivin' On A Chain Gang LyricsTurn on the TV, ¢ause I got nowhere
to go
Seems that there£ 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£
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£ riding on a breakdown - another
whiteknuckled shakedown
Feels like I£ livin?on a chain gang
I£ riding on a breakdown - a suicidal
shakedown
Feels like I£ on a chain gang
A con man£ intuition can wash
your sins away
Send your contribution and he£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£ riding on a breakdown - another
whiteknuckled shakedown
Feels like I£ livin?on a chain gang
I£ riding on a breakdown - a suicidal
shakedown
Feels like I£ 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£ riding on a breakdown - another
whiteknuckled shakedown
Feels like I£ livin?on a chain gang
I£ riding on a breakdown - a suicidal
shakedown
Feels like I£ on a chain gang
I£ riding on a breakdown - another
whiteknuckled shakedown
Feels like I£ livin?on a chain gang
I£ riding on a breakdown - a suicidal
shakedown
Feels like I£ on a chain gang |
