Chains

Look me in the eyes
As you put me in these chains
You have got no right
You ought to be ashamed
We don’t need you mind pollution
Hysteria or mass confusion
If you keep up with this persecution
We will bring the revolution
You can put bars around my body
Shackle me inside
Lock me up forever but you’ll never cage my mind
Take me to the hangman in the middle of the night
Watch me choke out my last breath
My spirit will never die
When all we want is peace
You send us off to war
All the while you sleep
In your houses made of gold
We won’t take this persecution
We will bring the revolution
You can put bars around my body
Shackle me inside
Lock me up forever but you’ll never cage my mind
Take me to the hangman in the middle of the night
Watch me choke out my last breath
My spirit will never die
