He said, "well whats it really matter if its random or a pattern? All these fools ever do is dig holes and climb ladders. Perhaps it is the love of the digging that really they've been living
All the whippings and the killings, might they thank their gods above for the lives they've been given?
Or maybe deep inside they desire purging fire and restraint, please excuse me but you've no need to explain why I should cry for them, do they cry for me?"
And I said, "man that is easy for you to say"
You ain't the one WEARING THE CHAINS
He said "well what if I was could you tell me if thats because my daddy prayed to the wrong god thats resting up above, or the name of the star that didn't align so I could find the time to put my faith in mans science?
You see now, none of us here have been warned about the time and place of which we'd come to be born. So tell me why I should cry or be scorned about the misery and poverty they've endured...
Oh, man that is so easy for you to say
You ain't the one WEARING THE CHAINS
and then he walked away, he tried to walk away
I said, "Well, now let me speak, let me say something to you. Don't walk away and leave me hanging like a snapped in half noose, thats dangling over a dead man in the red sand because he lifted some food.
Yes I can see that your completely fast asleep within a sweet dream thats keeping your mental notes stacked up so neatly but babe, your just a little honey bear with a nice cool lair hibernating safe and sound within the conservation grounds.
And if you take offense roar, you think you've got the time and the mind you wanna try, i'll give you the floor and we can chirp all day like little birds with big words and spin around like to clowns in the cirque du soleil.
Cause' in the end why not? we've got the right to throw our lives away and pour em' down the drain. But then again thats what I've been trying to say, is why its so easy for you to say
You ain't the one WEARING THE CHAINS
