Livin' on a Chain Gang chords and lyrics - SKID ROW

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[E5]Turn on the TV,
'cause I got nowhere to go
It seems that there's a little
trouble down in Mexico
[D]A thi[E5]rteen-year-old boy boy boy
robs a store so he can [G5]eat
[A5]They got h[E5]im doing time

[Interlude 1]
while killers walk the streets
[E5]

[Verse 2]
A [E5]hungry politician is the wolf
that's at the door
He's hell-bent on on submission
and he's feedin' on the poor
[G5]We could stare[E5] into the sun if we
would open up our eyes
But we paint ourselves in[E]to a corner,
colored in white [E5]lies[A5]
[E5](Busted on a [G5]rock[A5]

[Verse 3]
[D]pile) get
dusted in [A5]the heat
[E5](Shackled to [G5]the s[A5]ystem) and
[Bm]draggin' my feet
[C][Bm][E5]

[Verse 4]
(I'm ridin' on a [D]break[A5]down,
[E5]another white-knuckled shake[G]down[D])
[E5]Feels like I'm livin[G]' on[A5]
[Bm]a chain [A5]gang[E5]
(I'm riding on a [D]break[A5]down,
[E5]suicidal [G]sha[D]ked[E5]own)
Feels like [G]I'm livin' on [A5]a
[Bm]chain [A5]gang[E5][E][E5][D]
[E5]

[Verse 5]
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?
[Bb5]He takes [E5]the cash and he drives
it home in a brand new Cadillac
[G5]

[Verse 6]
[A5](Spi[E5]ttin' at the guard[G] dog)[A5][D]
burnin' in his wicked [A5]deal
[E5](Screamin' down the [G]rail[A5]road) with [Bm]no one at the wheel,
[C]no-[Bm]woah
[D](I'm ridin'

[A5]To get me off this slaughter line?

[Verse 9]
