[Affuso, Bolan, Hill, Snake]
Life comes and goes, quick as does the day
Greed, for those who know is just a step away
Time's a breathing bomb, going with the flow
Stand atop it all outside the status quo
No see, no speak then know where you're goin'
Drag your feet then nothing you're showin'
Take your place or fall to the lions
Lose your face and stand where you're dying
[Chorus]
Living in a hole is taking its toll
My iron will's in position
Seize you are not owed, stand or fall
And refuse to be denied
Pride is all in vain without the blood of need
Bones can break in shame from taking charity
Hide from all the hell and wash up with the tide
Wait and you commit psychological suicide
Break the molds of beg and submission
Wake the dead or no one will listen
Holding ground is just the beginning
It's uphill bound and in for the killing
[Repeat Chorus]

Skid Row è una heavy metal band americana formatasi nel 1986 a Toms River, New Jersey. I membri fondatori sono Rachel Bolan (basso) e Dave "The Snake" Sobo (chitarra). Completò la formazione originale Matt Fallon (voce), Scotti Hill (chitarra) e Rob Affuso (batteria). Nel 1987 Sebastian Bach sostituì Fallon alla voce, portando il gruppo al successo internazionale. Skid Row ha pubblicato tre album di platino negli anni '90: "Skid Row" (1989), "Slave to the Grind" (1991) e "Subhuman Race" (1992). Bach fu licenziato nel 1997, seguito da una serie di cambiamenti nella formazione. Nel 2000 la band ha pubblicato un nuovo album con Tony Harnell alla voce, ma senza il successo precedente. Skid Row continua ad esistere e a esibirsi dal 2016 con Johnny Solinger (ex-Whitesnake) come cantante. I brani più rappresentativi includono "18 and Life", "I Remember You", "Youth Gone Wild" e "Big Guns".
