Skid Row - Livin on a chain gang
Tekst :
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
CHORUS
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
CHORUS
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
CHORUS Inne utwory
In the darkened room Sweet little sister Forever Thick is the skin Cats in the cradle Into another Down from underground Medicine jar Get the fuck out Breakin down Ghost Blitzkrieg bop Here i am Bonehead Iron will See you around My enemy Losowe utwory
To their own shore came the world war
Gleaves and Ingham
Leading the bury west
Took the short way in
The long route back convoy 92
Bury Gleaves and Ingham leading
Tankers to the west
And upon the north atlantic
Lies the silence of the seas
On a quiet night in the darkest hour
The kriegsmarine appear
Above the surface it...
Chorus:
Turn the beat around
Love to hear the percussion
Turn it upside down
Love to hear the percussion
Love to hear it
Blow horns you sure sound pretty
Your violins keep movin to the nitty gritty
When you hear the scratch of the guitars scratchin
Then you ll know that rhythm carries all the action, so
Woah...
I used to be now I m not what you see, Lord I try
And now it seems all those dreams have come true, but they re passing me by
Some fast talkin mama for a dollar put a smile on my face
I m drivin all night
I end up in...
Yeah baby, I ve been drinking, and I shouldn t come by I know
But I found myself in trouble darling, and I had nowhere else to go
Got some whiskey from a bar man, got some cocaine from a friend
I just had to keep...
[Mos Def]
Yo yo, yo, whassup, yo yo
Yo yo, we gonna, we gonna slow it down
so we can speed it up y all
Right now I want everybody come to the front
That s right, move forward
I want all the poppers...
