Chains - Blacktop Mojo

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
