Chains and Shackles Lyrics by Slash

0

[Verse 1]
What makes you think I'm just a dog?
They don't listen (and don't play)
Put away your short leash, I'll get the fuckin' chain
So step aside (and I'll take control)
I'll make right what you made wrong
I let it go too long
I realize that all of these

[Pre-Chorus]
Chains and shackles feel more
Like ribbons and bows
That'll keep me high

[Chorus]
Fuck you, can't make me stay here
Fuck this, I won't bow to you
Fuck you, can't make me stay here
Fuck this, I won't bow to you

[Verse 2]
Bleeding cat on the floor
Now we're fighting (all the time)
You can scream right in my face
I know your words mean nothing
He always preaching (guide the faith)
I only listen to the demon in my mind
He's always there
He's always saying, ("you'll be mine")

[Pre-Chorus]
Chains and shackles feel more
Like a light summer dress
And a river running wild

[Chorus]
Fuck you, can't make me stay here
Fuck this, I won't bow to you
Fuck you, can't make me stay here
Fuck this, I won't bow to you

[Solo]

[Bridge]
I'm gonna keep you away, 'cause now I'm building
Keep you away, 'cause now I'm building
Keep you away, 'cause now I'm building
A motherfucking *inaudible*

[Chorus]
Yeah
Fuck you, can't make me stay here
Fuck this, I won't bow to you
Fuck you, can't make me stay here
Fuck this, I won't bow to you (no more chains to me)
Fuck this, I won't bow to you (no more shackles too)
Fuck this, I won't bow to you
