|
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 the 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 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 - buring 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
|
Fells like I'm livin' on a chain gang
|
I'm riding on a breakdown - a suicidal shakedown
|
Feels like I'm linin' on a chain gang
|
