I spent most of my life in chains
For thirty five years serving others
Chains, chains, I mean chains
You know I've been living in chains
Sorrow, seven kinds of sorrow
Sorrow the days I've been hiding
Sorrow for which I cannot hide!
Hey oh
I don't need
Help me, help me I'm in chains
Spent most of my life in chains
Oh, sorrow, sorrow
All I want to do is oh
Oh, I'm in misery
Chains, I'm just a man
Don't understand, why they're treating me this way
Why they put me in these chains!
Why they put me in these chains
Tried to escape these chains
But they keep calling me, they keep calling me
Oh, oh, oh
