Chains Lyrics by Autumn Kings

Book of the Broken

2022

[Intro]
Give me chains
Give me chains
[Verse 1]
You never wanna work without a fee
Expecting everyone to kiss your feet
You’re livin’ in an old lie
You’re livin’ in an old lie
[Verse 2]
Another generation’s point of view
Took your brain and washed away the youth
They’re livin’ in an old lie
You’re livin’ in an old lie
[Pre-Chorus]
Your mind is vacant
How do you take it?
You live your life with certainty
See, I’m gonna make it
I’m not gonna wait here
For fortune to fall upon me
[Chorus]
Give me chains
And put the locks on me
Give me hell
Oh, let the fire breathe
Give me sticks and stones
And bullet holes
And let the sky fall on me
Oh, I’m tired of living so carefree
Wanna find something that bothers me
So I come back to life
And free my mind
And break these chains off me
Give me chains
[Verse 3]
Money is a drug they sell to you
To forget your dreams
Yeah, that’s the truth
You’re livin’ in an old lie
You’re livin’ in an old lie
[Verse 4]
But once you take a hit
God damn, you’re screwed
Sell or be sold, it’s up to you
They’re livin’ in an old lie
You’re livin’ in an old lie
[Pre-Chorus]
Your mind is vacant
How do you take it?
You live your life with certainty
See, I’m gonna make it
I’m not gonna wait here
For fortune to fall upon me
[Chorus]
Give me chains
And put the locks on me
Give me hell
Oh, let the fire breathe
Give me sticks and stones
And bullet holes
And let the sky fall on me (Let the sky fall on me)
Oh, I’m tired of living so carefree
Wanna find something that bothers me
So I come back to life
And free my mind
And break these chains off me
Give me chains
[Outro]
Give me chains
Give me chains
So I come back to life and free my mind
And break these chains off me
Give me chains
