Woman In Chains

You better love loving and you better behave

Woman in chains

Calls her man the great white hope

Says shes fine, shell always cope

Woman in chains

Well I feel lying and waiting is a poor mans deal

And I feel hopelessly weighed down by your eyes of steel

Its a world gone crazy

Keeps woman in chains

Trades her soul as skin and bones

Sells the only thing she owns

Woman in chains

Men of stone

Well I feel deep in your heart there are wounds time cant heals

And I feel somebody somewhere is trying to breathe

Well you know what I mean

Its a world gone crazy

Keeps woman in chains

Its under my skin but out of my hands

Ill tear it apart but I wont understand

I will not accept the greatness of man

Its a world gone crazy

Keeps woman in chains

So free her
