Tied up on a Chain - The Chills

I’m sick of the sight of those children of gloom

And those there spouting speeches

All their talk in speech balloons

You know, I’d like to educate them

Though I don’t suppose they’d care

To dig around the roots that grew their boots, salutes and hair

They’re here to stay in this crooked game

That they’re expecting to play for no return

So soon they learn for all their pain

They’re tied up in chains that appear to change

We feel we must be others and that this is more than that

If egos are inflated they can crush a people flat

Once we took a break and stopped and smelt and felt the Dacchau air

If I’d thought I had a point I had it strengthen over there

We’re her to stay in this crooked game

That we’re expecting to play for some return

But soon you learn for all your pain

You’re tied up in chain, your fears have made

So Operation Degradation

Spring again to action

For that fairy-tale faction

And their custom-built crusade

We’re here to stay in this crooked game

That we’re expected to play for no return

And soon you learn for all your pain

You’re tied up in chains your parents made

We’re here to stay in this crooked game

That we’re expected to play for no return

And soon you learn for all your pain

You’re tied up in chains your parents made

And they were dangling by chains their parents made

And they were dangling by chains their parents made
