Livin' On A Chain Gang Lyrics

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 beenSkepticism - Livin' On A Chain Gang - http://motolyrics.com/skepticism/livin-on-a-chain-gang-lyrics.html
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
