Walking In Chains

Lyrics for Walking In Chains

For the girls it's knowledge beyond their years And a half brass wedding dress When the babies cry you wipe their tears Forget that lifes a mess For the boys it's brand new bank accounts Money they can't afford Saving for that first new house Working too hard to be bored No time to talk (nothing to say) Don't run don't walk (all work no play) Silver knife and fork Find a cure for all their pain Drive all thoughts from out their brains Squeeze them dry and see just what remains Walking in chains Sleeping late just once a week A headache every night Trying hard to make ends meet Old clothes feel so tight Indiscretion from time to time With a friend from out of town You close your eyes it's not a crime It's a shame to turn it down Nothing to hide (it's everywhere) A one way ride (don't pay the fare) No sense of pride (no one to care) All night buses and empty trains Walking home in the pouring rain Look inside and see just what remains Walking in chains All night buses and empty trains Walking home in the pouring rain Look inside and see just what remains You've got me walking in chains
