The Chains Of Pain Lyrics - Bob Geldof

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
