I'm in Chains
I used to think life was worth living
And everything was just fine
I came and I went
And I spent all the best of my time
But then I learned to live
Just to care about Heaven
Like the only thing on my mind
Now I've forgotten my existence
Like a prisoner serving his time
I'm in Chains
Me oh my
Somebody said I'll feel better
In the by-and-by
I'm in Chains
My oh me
This life wants to hold me
Till the next one sets me free
I used to like being a human
And having a mind of my own
I never would've thought
I ought to be like a holy drone
But then my mind it was illumined
And my identity was gone
I've got to follow to the letter
Like a beggar with leg-irons on
I'm in Chains
Me oh my
Somebody said I'll feel better
In the by-and-by
I'm in Chains
My oh me
This life wants to hold me
Till the next one sets me free
And everything was just fine
I came and I went
And I spent all the best of my time
But then I learned to live
Just to care about Heaven
Like the only thing on my mind
Now I've forgotten my existence
Like a prisoner serving his time
I'm in Chains
Me oh my
Somebody said I'll feel better
In the by-and-by
I'm in Chains
My oh me
This life wants to hold me
Till the next one sets me free
I used to like being a human
And having a mind of my own
I never would've thought
I ought to be like a holy drone
But then my mind it was illumined
And my identity was gone
I've got to follow to the letter
Like a beggar with leg-irons on
I'm in Chains
Me oh my
Somebody said I'll feel better
In the by-and-by
I'm in Chains
My oh me
This life wants to hold me
Till the next one sets me free
