Cutting Chain

On the corner
Life goes on
The cutting chain

Saturday
In the dark
The cutting chain

Poor boy
Ain't no shame
Gotta get a job on the
Point your fingers
Who's to blame?
Nobody is

Someday
I'm be free
Enough to be
All alone with
The monkey

If you see her
Getting on
The cutting chain

Lover and leavers
And true believers
Get left behind
The cutting chain

At the killing shift
Ain't no bed
For you to get no shut eye
Do your time
On the line
They'll speed you up
And they'll wear you down
Battle on
Red, red
Got to thinkin' 'bout
What you said
Makes sense to me
I should've told you before

Can you feel the pain?
I forget your name
The cutting chain
