Chains and Things - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Woke up this morning

After another one of those crazy dreams

Oh, nothing's going right this morning

The whole world's got it wrong, it seems

I guess it's the chain that bind me

Can't shake it loose, these chains and things

Got to go to work this morning

Seems like everything is lost

I got a gold-digging heartbreaking woman

I got a slave-driving boss

Can't loosen up these chains that bind me

Can't shake 'em loose, these chains and things (Mmm, yeah)

Can't seem to loosen up, oh, these chains and things

Well, you know talk about hard luck and trouble

That's my, my middle name

All the odds are against me

And I can only play a losing game

Must bе these chains that bind me

Can't shakе 'em loose, these chains and things (Mmm, yeah)

You know I just can't loosen up all these chains and things

These chains and things, no

Well, I would pack up and leave today, people

But I got nowhere to go

I got no money for no ticket

And I don't feel like walking anymore

Must be these chains that bind me

I can't seem to lose, these chains and things

You know I try, and I try, and I try, but I

I can't seem to break free from these chains and things

Chains and things, these chains and things, oh, no no no no
