I used to think life was worth living

And everything was just fine

I came and I went

And I spent all the best of my time

But then I learned to live

Just to care about Heaven

Like the only thing on my mind

Now I've forgotten my existence

Like a prisoner serving his time

I'm in Chains

Me oh my

Somebody said I'll feel better

In the by and by

I'm in Chains

My oh me

This life wants to hold me

Till the next one sets me free

I used to like being a human

And having a mind of my own

I never would've thought

I ought to be like a holy drone

But then my mind it was illumined

And my identity was gone

I've got to follow to the letter

Like a beggar with legirons on

I'm in Chains

Me oh my

Somebody said I'll feel better

In the by and by

I'm in Chains

My oh me

This life wants to hold me

Till the next one sets me free

I'm in Chains

Me oh my

Somebody said I'll feel better

In the by and by

I'm in Chains

My oh me

This life wants to hold me

Till the next one sets me free

I'm in Chains

I'm in Chains

I'm in Chains

I'm in Chains

I'm in Chains

I'm in Chains
