Noose

Shackled by ignorant hands
Calloused by the prejudice in politics
And makin' my soul cold, man
Yeah
Someday in the courtyard
Gawkin' at the fella swingin' to and fro
From the gallows
What you gonna do
If the noose breaks
What you gonna do
If it don’t take
What you gonna do
If your devil don’t stay chained
Chained
Chained
Chains
Oppression is the unrest
Unifies and crucified, sanctifies the vengeance
As a whole
Yeah
Riding tough, sittin' in a cage
Chokin' on the olive branch
And waitin' for his chance
To unleash his good rage
What you gonna do
If the noose breaks
What you gonna do
If it don’t take
What you gonna do
If your devil don’t stay chained
Chains
Chains
Chained
Chained
(whew, all you self-proclaimed, spiritualized)
Chained
(to profess to prophesize)
Chained
(and try to exorcise our so-called demons)
Chained
(don't you patronize with your alibis)
Chained
(and your shifty eyes)
Chained
(shift-shift-shift)
Chained
(yeah, what you gonna do)
Chained
