These Chains
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Way too long I've been a fool
Now I know your kind is cruel
All I got from you oh these chains
You never ever learnt the golden rule
That's one story that you missed in school
Way too long I've been a fool
Oh for these chains
Can't get out of bed, feet are made of lead
Nothing is going to change
Until you cut me loose, these chains
Oh these chains
I can hear the money talking
One of these days you're gonna find me walking
Hope you're happy wrapped up in these chains.
