Lives In Chains

Freak shows, talk shows

Living off our misery

Dozens of psychics celebrity sidekicks

Telling us all just what we need to know

Guess it's a sign of the times

Guess it's the way of the day

Nothing but vertical lines empty minds

Yeah we hear you talking

But we don't know what it means

You just keep on talking

As we live our lives in chains

Hey there Miss Oprah what's doing today?

Just smiling at me on TV

Why go anywhere? We can shop from a chair

In this remote society

I seen it coming around

Will I be here for the day?

Can we survive underground? Going down

Yeah we hear you talking

But we don't know what it means

You just keep on talking

As we live our lives in chains

We're living in chains

While you're eating at our brains

We live our lives in chains

Coming on the air

Going to knock you in your chair

Boy wait till you hear the news

Got a woman coming on

Who can really get it on

Going to show you what she can do

Got a family in a fight

Going to help them get it right

Going to straighten out their miserable lives

We got it all here on the show

And we want you all to know

If you miss this one you're going to die

Turn me on

Yeah we hear you talking

But we don't know what it means

You just keep on talking

As we live our lives in chains

Yeah we hear you talking

But we don't care what it means

Just love to hear you talking

As we live our lives in chains

We're living in chains

While you're eating at our brains

We live our lives in chains

We're living in chains

I just don't understand

Why we live our lives in chains

Shackled to the air

We live our lives in chains
