Scarecrow

It ain't the paranoia that kills
or the Chinese placebo pills
or the way you get your cheap thrills
in the morning

Lord I have sinned
since I don't know when but
it wasn't my fault
no it wasn't

This world boxed me in
yeah it boxed me in
sent me round the bend
without warning

Sometimes it's safer in chains
than chasing a ghost in vain
you follow that line
to a door that ain't open

Sometimes it's safer in chains
freedom is a hard won thing
you follow that line
to a door that ain't open

Scarecrow in the corn
another man done gone
he followed the law
but it broke him

Shining like the rain
on a windowpane
her eyes are words never spoken

Sometimes it's safer in chains
than chasing a ghost in vain
you follow that line
to a door that ain't open

Sometimes it's safer in chains
freedom is a hard won thing
you follow that line
to a door that ain't open

Sometimes it's safer in chains
than chasing a ghost in vain
you follow that line
to a door that ain't open

Sometimes it's safer in chains
freedom is a hard won thing
you follow that line
to a door that ain't open
