Your hunger after money    Your parents agree   The things you don't require   You kid yourself you need   Neglect the flower of love   Give your worship to the weed   Your just adding links to a long and heavy chain      The selfishness that drives    So much of what you do   That a fixes your attention    Completely up on you   Your record is take away much more than your due   Your just adding links to a long and heavy chain      A heavy chain gets longer all the time    What should be easy going   Turns into a mountain climb   A heavy chain gets heavier    Day by day   It keeps you anchored to the ground    So that your heart cant fly a way      The whiskey and the women   You use to blow your mind   Are deadly on their own    And double deadly when combined   They satisfy your senses but leave your soul behind   Your just adding links to a long and heavy chain      A heavy chain gets longer all the time    What should be easy going   Turns into a mountain climb   The heavy chain gets heavier    Day by day   It keeps you anchored to the ground    So that your heart cant fly a way      A heavy chain gets longer all the time    What should be easy going   Turns into a mountain climb   A heavy chain gets heavier    Day by day   It keeps you anchored to the ground    So that your heart cant fly a way      Your hunger after money      The whiskey and the women      It's a long and heavy chain      Such a long and heavy chain
