Motörhead - Back on the Chain Lyrics
Official




Don't be bitchin' honey
'Cause you're holding all the money
And now we're outlaws, running scared
And I don't think it's funny
Keep your foot on the gas now baby
Don't you let 'em in
'Cause we're just thieves and I don't need to be back on that chain again

Don't you be complaining
'Cause you're gonna do my brain in
We just trying to cop a feel
And I think the cops are gaining
Get that petal to the metal baby
Don't you let 'em win
'Cause we're just thieves, and I don't need to be back on that chain again

Don't shoot me down, I ain't no violent man
Don't put a forty-five in my hand, I ain't gonna do no time
I know I've been a fool
But please don't send me down
I don't want to spend my life locked up without no women around

Now we're back on the street
In love with every whore I meet
'Cause money walks and money talks
And I can hardly keep my feet
Keep lookin' over your shoulder baby
In case they zero in
'Cause we're just thieves and I don't need to be back on that chain again

Police, don't shoot me down
I don't want to die in the dust
I can't make the scene where I die like a dog with the crowd looking on in disgust
We're just kids with guns
American as apple pie
So don't you put that hurt on me, I ain't gonna do no time
We were just running scared
Everybody but us knew the game
We never had no reason to kill but those people are dead just the same
