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
