(Bolan, Snake)
|
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
