It ain’t the paranoia that kills
or the Chinese placebo pills
or the way you get your cheap thrills
in the morning
Lord I have sinned
since I don’t know when but
it wasn’t my fault
no it wasn’t
This world boxed me in
yeah it boxed me in
sent me round the bend
without warning
Sometimes it’s safer in chains
than chasing a ghost in vain
you follow that line
to a door that ain’t open
Sometimes it’s safer in chains
freedom is a hard won thing
you follow that line
to a door that ain’t open
Scarecrow in the corn
another man done gone
he followed the law
but it broke him
Shining like the rain
on a windowpane
her eyes are words never spoken
Sometimes it’s safer in chains
than chasing a ghost in vain
you follow that line
to a door that ain’t open
Sometimes it’s safer in chains
freedom is a hard won thing
you follow that line
to a door that ain’t open
Sometimes it’s safer in chains
than chasing a ghost in vain
you follow that line
to a door that ain’t open
Sometimes it’s safer in chains
freedom is a hard won thing
you follow that line
to a door that ain’t open
