[al:Slave To The Grind]
[00:00.55] Turn on the TV cause I got nowhere to go
[00:04.65] IT seems like there's a little trouble down in Mexico
[00:09.17] A 13-year-old boy robs a store so he can eat
[00:13.37] And they got him doing time while killers walk the streets
[00:31.46] A hungry politician is the wolf that's at the door
[00:36.01] He's hellbent on submission and he's feedin' on the poor
[00:40.39] We could stare into the sun if we would open up our eyes
[00:44.88] But we paint ourselves into a corner colored in white lies
[00:49.52] (Busted on a rock pile)
[00:52.04] Getting dusted in the heat
[00:53.95] (Shackled to the system)
[00:55.96] And draggin' my feet
[01:00.78] I'm riding on a breakdown
[01:03.22] Another white knuckled shakedown
[01:05.25] Feels like I'm livin' on a chain gang
[01:09.81] I'm riding on a breakdown
[01:12.22] Suicidal shakedown
[01:14.49] Feels like I'm livin' on a chain gang
[01:27.36] A common situation can wash your sins away
[01:32.11] Send your contribution and he'll save your soul today
[01:36.48] What does he know has he been to hell and back
[01:41.11] He takes the cash and drives it home in a brand new Cadillac
[01:45.51] (Spitting at the guard dog)
[01:47.92] Burning in his wicked deal
[01:50.03] (Screamin' down the railroad)
[01:51.98] With no one at the wheel
[01:56.94] I'm riding on a breakdown
[01:59.26] Another white knuckled shakedown
[02:01.41] Feels like I'm livin' on a chain gang
[02:05.88] I'm riding on a breakdown
[02:08.21] Suicidal shakedown
[02:10.40] Feels like I'm livin' on a chain gang
[02:16.78] GUITAR SOLO
[02:55.85] Faith healin' superstition
[03:00.29] Coldblooded criminal mind
[03:04.79] Getting off on a high position
[03:09.24] Hey brother can you spare a dime
[03:11.29] To get me off this slaughter line!
[03:13.82] I'm riding on a breakdown
[03:15.97] Another white knuckled shakedown
[03:18.32] Feels like I'm livin' on a chain gang
[03:22.70] I'm riding on a breakdown
[03:24.99] Suicidal shakedown
[03:27.14] Feels like I'm livin' on a chain gang
[03:31.72] I'm riding on a breakdown
[03:33.86] Another white knuckled shakedown
[03:36.16] Feels like I'm livin' on a chain gang
[03:40.65] I'm riding on a breakdown
[03:42.79] Suicidal shakedown
[03:44.99] Feels like I'm livin' on a chain gang
