Break the Chain

The future and the past, they always seem to find me
I ain't been here before but it somehow still reminds me
You know what really gets me babe, what really grinds me?
I keep on staring into the sun even though it blinds me Hey ya hey ya

I'm breaking the chains, breaking the chains
Breaking the chains that bind me
If you wanted to baby
You could come and find me
Setting myself free
Hey ya, hey ya

Guess you could say that I got it from my mama
That's a little joke on me about generational trauma
I should put a question mark where I usually put a comma
I could use some lovin baby but ain't looking for no drama hey ya, hey ya

I'm breaking the chains, breaking the chains
Breaking the chains that bind me
If you wanted to baby
You could come and find me
Setting myself free
Hey ya, hey ya

It all makes so much sense now that I have come to see
That it really really didn't start with me
Where they said ok sure, I say hell no
Wind me up baby and watch me go Hey ya, hey ya

Not me
Not me
Not me
Not me
Not me
Not me
Not me
Not me
I scream out selfishly
Turns out that we're never really born free
But you can

Break the chains, break the chains
Break the chains that bind you
If I wanted to baby I could come and find you
But I'm breaking the chains, breaking the chains
Setting myself free Hey ya, hey ya
