So much has happened in my life since the other day.
I lost my best friend when they came and took him away.
I swore I'd quit and change my ways but I have to say
that I don't want to stop, but am I next upon the chain gang.

Every day they fill our heads with what's wrong from right.
We see it on our TV screens every day and night.
The lies they wash into the heads of our little ones.
We've hurt no one. What crime is done?
Let's break the chain!

Chorus:
Let's break the chain of silence. Let's break the chain of lies.
Let's break the chain of ignorance and open people's eyes.
Let's break the chain of lives that are just lost and thrown away.
Let's break the chain of fear lift up your voice.
Come on it's time to break the chain!

My basic rights of freedom they steal and change with each passing day.
Except the right to remain silent, and that's how they wish I would stay.
But I just can't sit and wait til they lock us all away
for using what God gave us on the third day.
Hey, let's break the chain!

(Chorus)

(Chorus)
Let's break the chain of silence. Let's break the chain of lies.
Let's break the chain of ignorance and open people's eyes.
Let's break the chain of lives that are just lost and thrown away.
Let's break the chain of lives that are just lost and thrown away.
Let's break the chain of lives that are just lost and thrown away,
lost and thrown away, lost and thrown away. Lives thrown away!
