Shake Off Those Chains

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Shake off those chains I know that living ain't easy Let's name some names Let the hollerin' free ya Let's break loose Crawl out from under that thumb Then unpick the locks of those That we put chains upon [Verse 2] Break down those walls Until they're dust and rubble Those boys on the hill Oh, they're gonna smell trouble Let's tear this palace up Raze it to the ground Then pass the hammer on to those That we built walls around [Bridge] Human is as human does We've been doing it just because But follow those chains of command And all the keys are in one hand [Verse 3] Break down those doors Leave 'em bent and shattered Don't just ask for more Friends, you gotta come get it Use them for firewood To warm our hands upon Then open up for those We slammed our own doors on [Instrumental - Trumpet solo] [Verse 4] And shake off those chains Drop down the ladders Whatever you've been taught Aw, that stuff don't matter Let's try out something new And set each other free If I take 'em off you Someone'll do the same for me If I take 'em off you Someone'll do the same for me
