Lyrics
I got this chain wrapped around my heart
Got to get out of this city, make a new start
You can drag my body to the ground
But This Chain what's gonna get me down
Got this pain burnin' inside me
Day by day the same till I'm 103
I could try to break away
But This Chain ties my heart up everyday
I look over my shoulder what do I see?
Everyone has got one just like me
Got this chain, keeping me down
Shackles on my feet tied to the ground
Just a slave from 9 to 5
Still this chain keeps me struggling to survive
Everyone around me wants to be free
Don't you know that we all hold the key
Got this chain keeping me down
Shackles on my feet tied to the ground
I could try to set myself free
But in this chain is where I want to be
