Ie only myself to blame,
Now that I tangled up in chains,
So you say, ooh, so you say
Caught in this human cage,
Trapped, and I fired up with rage
And somebody got to pay
I can never talk about it,
I can never say what I want to say
So Il take your tip and Il bite my lip
And hope it goes away
You say I a man of straw
Well, baby, I gonna break your law
Then it war, ooh, yes it war
Love on a thin white line,
Love that was just a waste of time,
Oh, not anymore
I can feel it coming at me,
I can feel it coming like the wind
But, I locked away and I bound to stay,
So no one can get in
I a man in chains, I a man in chains
Oh, I a man in chains, I a man in chains
I only pray that before I die,
Just like a phoenix I will rise and fly
Tell me who to blame,
Oh, I a man, now I a man in chains
There must be a reason why
Youe pulling the wool down on my eyes
It a lie, it a lie
Dragging this ball and chain,
Oh, how long can I take this pain?
But somebody has to try, yeah
Oh, I can feel the pressure on me,
I can feel it taking me from the start
Sticks and stones will smash my bones,
But never break my heart
I a man in chains, I a man in chains
Oh, I a man in chains, I a man in chains
I only pray that before I die,
Just like a phoenix I will rise and fly
Tell me who to blame,
Oh, I a man, now I a man in chains
I can never talk about it,
Oh, I can never say what I want to say
So Il take your tip and Il bite my lip
And hope it goes away
I a man in chains, I a man in chains
Oh, I a man in chains, I a man in chains
I only pray that before I die,
Just like a phoenix I will rise and fly
Tell me who to blame,
Oh, I a man, now I a man in chains
