Skid Row - Livin on a Chain Gang
[00:00.91] Turn on the TV
[00:02.16] cause I got nowhere to go
[00:04.92] Seems that there's a little trouble
[00:07.17] down in Mexico
[00:09.41] A 13-year-old boy robs
[00:11.66] a store so he can eat
[00:13.91] And they got him doing time while
[00:16.41] killers walk the streets
[00:31.91] A hungry politician is the wolf
[00:34.16] that's at the door
[00:36.41] Hell-bent on submission
[00:38.41] and feedin on the poor
[00:41.16] We could stare into the sun if
[00:42.66] we would open up our eyes
[00:45.17] But we paint ourselves into
[00:47.42] a cornercolored in white lies
[00:49.92] Busted on a rockpile
[00:51.91] getting dusted in the heat
[00:54.41] Shackled to the system
[00:56.42] and draggin' my feet
[01:01.41] I'm riding on a breakdown
[01:03.66] another whiteknuckled shakedown
[01:05.92] Feels like I'm livin' on a chain gang
[01:10.42] I'm riding on a breakdown
[01:12.66] a suicidal shakedown
[01:14.91] Feels like I'm on a chain gang
[01:27.92] A con man's intuition
[01:29.16] can wash your sins away
[01:32.92] Send your contribution
[01:34.66] and he'll save your soul today
[01:37.41] What can he know
[01:38.67] has he been through hell and back
[01:41.66] He takes the cash and drives
[01:43.42] it home in a brand new Cadillac
[01:45.91] Spitting at the guard dog
[01:48.42] burning in his wicked deal
[01:50.66] Screamin' down the railroad
[01:52.67] with no one at the wheel
[01:57.66] I'm riding on a breakdown
[01:59.66] another whiteknuckled shakedown
[02:01.91] Feels like I'm livin' on a chain gang
[02:06.66] I'm riding on a breakdown
[02:08.67] a suicidal shakedown
[02:10.92] Feels like I'm on a chain gang
[02:56.24] Faith healin', superstition
[03:00.49] Cold-blooded criminal mind
[03:04.98] Getting off on high position
[03:09.49] Hey brother can you spare a dime
[03:11.74] To get me off this slaughter line
[03:14.00] I'm riding on a breakdown
[03:16.23] another whiteknuckled shakedown
[03:18.49] Feels like I'm livin' on a chain gang
[03:22.99] I'm riding on a breakdown
[03:25.24] a suicidal shakedown
[03:27.48] Feels like I'm on a chain gang
[03:31.99] I'm riding on a breakdown
[03:34.24] another whiteknuckled shakedown
[03:36.24] Feels like I'm livin' on a chain gang
[03:40.99] I'm riding on a breakdown
[03:43.24] a suicidal shakedown
[03:45.49] Feels like I'm on a chain gang
