Chains on Me lyrics

I woke up this morning and the world was gray

Haven't seen the sun since they hauled me away

The boss man says there's no use in tryin'

He won't let me color outside of the lines

Got these chains on me

And they're dragging me down

Got these chains on me

Hear that clanking sound

Got these chains on me

Mister, hear my song

Don't say imagination is morally wrong

Mmm-hmm

Drink your water, boss

As long as I've been here I got nothing to show

Try to make something but the boss says no

Wanna be creative but the man won't hear it

That big boss man he's trying to crush my spirit

Got these chains on me

They won't let me fly

Got these chains on me

Won't tell me why

Got these chains on me

Mister, hear my song

Don't say imagination is morally wrong

No they won't let us dance or bang that gong

'Cause they say imagination is morally wrong
