I’ve been a good boy for too many years
I’ve been a victim of subliminal fears
It may be true that there’s no one to blame
I’m gonna break 'em off just the same
I’m a chain breaker

Sometimes I’m living – sometimes I exist
Sometimes these chains pull me back to the ditch
It may be so that they're weighing on me
I’m gonna shake ’em off ’ till I break free

I’m a chain breaker
They're mind makers
They’re soul takers
I’m a chain breaker


Someone’s been telling me how to think
I’m cutting 'em off link for link
I’ll keep cuttin' til my last breath
Give me Liberty or give me death

Sometimes I’m dreaming – sometimes I’m a wake
Sometime these lies are just too much to take
They’re forging links that bind our brain
Let’s break ’em off before we go insane

Be a chain breaker
They're mind makers
They’re soul takers
And dream rapers

But I’m a chain breaker
A cage shaker
A chance taker
I’m a chain breaker
