Chains Lyrics by Paddy Kerins

2019

[Verse 1]
Why do some get special treatment?
Why do some get more freedom?
Why do some feel more pain?
Why are some locked up in chains?

[Verse 2]
In the deep south a child cries
Fleeing the farm was his demise
Forced to work 'cause of the colour of his skin
But enslaving them isn't considered a sin

[Verse 3]
He stands on the white veranda
Whip in one and liquor in the other
A gun is holstered by his thigh
Is a bullet destined to take me high?

[Chorus]
In the hand of God, it's not judgement day
Despite all your sins you keep committing everyday
In the land of the free, your wallet's gonna weigh
And all of you sins are forgotten, forgotten when you pray
