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
