The chains of pain


Jungle Joe say to Uncle SamHe say leave me alone
Let me be just as I am
Money grow on tree
As we say in JapaneeDown Amazonia way
Up all night I've been out with the in crowd
Uptight, outtasight, alright outtamind
You know what I'm trying to say
But in another way
A chain that breaks is just a heart that's changed
Sometimes I fall on my knees and I pray
God won't let me see another day
Then I wake up and thank God that He'signored my prayers again
Systems of belief well they come and they go babe
The myths we believe in they change from day to day
I believe belief will wrap your brains in chains
So I'm for changing
Desperate deeds were done by men with guns in ChinaBoys in clean white shirts
Stopped the tanks in their dirt
And the blood they spilled
Just made the white shine brighter
They weren't waiting baby
They were breaking up the chains of painThey're not slaves they're changing
By breaking up the chains of pain
A brain in chains is just a heart enslaved
Join the chain gang
Break it up

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Among their most famous hits are "I Don't Like Mondays", "Rat Trap" and "The Boomtown Rats". In 1984, Geldof founded Band Aid, a supergroup of British and Irish artists who recorded the song "Do They Know It's Christmas?" to raise funds in aid of the famine in Ethiopia. The Boomtown Rats have sold millions of records worldwide and are considered one of the most influential rock bands of the 1970s and 1980s.
