Livin` On A Chain Gang - 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 break down
another white knuckled shake down
Feels like I'm livin'
on a chain gang
I'm riding on a breakdown
a suicidal shake down
Feels like I'm livin'
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 does 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
white knuckled shake down
Feels like I'm livin'
on a chain gang
I'm riding on a break down
a suicidal shake down
Feels like I'm livin'
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 break down
another white knuckled shake down
Feels like I'm livin'
on a chain gang
I'm riding on a breakdown
a suicidal shake down
Feels like I'm livin'
on a chain gang
I'm riding on a break down another
white knuckled shake down
Feels like I'm livin'
on a chain gang
I'm riding on a breakdown
a suicidal shake down
Feels like I'm livin'
on a chain gang
