Bob Geldof The Chains Of Pain lyrics

Jungle Joe say to Uncle Sam

He say leave me alone

Let me be just as I am

Money grow on tree

As we say in Japanee

Down Amazonia way

Up all night I`ve been out with the in crowd

Uptight, outtasight, alright outtamind

You know what I`m trying to say

But in another way



A chain that breaks is just a heart that`s changed



Sometimes I fall on my knees and I pray

God won`t let me see another day

Then I wake up and thank God that He`s

ignored my prayers again

Systems of belief well they come and they go babe

The myths we believe in they change from day to day

I believe belief will wrap your brains in chains

So I`m for changing



Desperate deeds were done by men with guns in China

Boys in clean white shirts

Stopped the tanks in their dirt

And the blood they spilled

Just made the white shine brighter

They weren`t waiting baby

They were breaking up the chains of pain

They`re not slaves they`re changing

By breaking up the chains of pain



A brain in chains is just a heart enslaved

Join the chain gang

Break it up
