Congo (Single Version) Lyrics by Genesis

Turn It On Again: The Hits (The Tour Edition)

1997

[Verse 1]
You say that I put chains on you
But I don't think that's really true
But if you want to be free from me
You gotta lose me in another world

[Chorus]
Send me to the Congo, I'm free to leave
There's always somewhere anybody can lead
Send me to the Congo, you have to believe
You can do it if you wanna just do what you please

[Verse 2]
Like a soldier ant
I will wait for the signal to act
To take a walk right through the door
If you don't want me here anymore

[Chorus]
Send me to the Congo, I'm free to leave
There's always somewhere anybody can lead
Send me to the Congo, you have to believe
You can do it if you wanna just do what you please

[Bridge]
Into my heart you came
And gave a whole new meaning to my life
Into my world you brought a light
I thought it never would go out

[Chorus]
Send me to the Congo, I'm free to leave
There's always somewhere anybody can lead
Send me to the Congo, you have to believe
You can do it if you wanna just do what you please
You can send me to the Congo, I'm free to leave
There's always somewhere anybody can lead
Yes, you can send me to the Congo, you have to believe
You can do it if you wanna just do what you please
