Chains

Break the chain Tracy is a good girl, sweet sixteen Her daddy's in her bedroom Makes her feel unclean She's slave to a secret That her dad and she keep together Nathan is a genius Or at least he was Nat traded future for a gla*s-pipe-buzz Nat lives on the streets now For $20 bills he'll do whatever Don't stop breaking the chains Don't stop breakin' away Don't be afraid of breaking the chains It's up to no one else You've got to free yourself Rosie is a waitress at the airport lounge She gave up on her dreams Her self esteem's broke down Now she stares out the window Watching people fly around forever Don't stop breaking the chains Don't stop breakin' away Don't be afraid of breaking the chains It's up to no one else You've got to free yourself Make a change, don't you be afraid, go on Free your mind from the fear inside And you won't be chained anymore Look here, I'm a black man And they say I'm free Seems like somebody still got chains on me Well, we got brothers killing brothers Leaving young mothers to raise a family We gotta stay together to make it better Don't stop breaking the chains Don't stop breakin' away Don't be afraid of breaking the chains It's up to no one else You've got to free yourself
