Chains Lyrics by Matt Elliott

Failing Songs

2006

We're free to do exactly what we're told
We're free to buy what we're sold
We're nothing more than slaves my dear
But our chains are made of gold

We're slaves, we're slaves, we're slaves
We're slaves, we're slaves, we're slaves

Though our chains are golden
They're still just fucking chains

We're free to do exactly what we're told
We're free to buy what we're sold
We're nothing more than slaves my dear
But our chains are made of gold
We're slaves, we're slaves, we're slaves
We're slaves, we're slaves, we're slaves
Though our chains are golden
They're still just fucking chains
