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 whitenuckled 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
