Bob Geldof The Chains Of Pain Lyrics

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
