Song title Livin´ On A Chain Gang
Artist Skid Row
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 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 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´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 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 on a chain gang
