Chains and Colors

They gave me food and shelter They gave me the shoes I wear All I have to do is believe them All I have to do is work all day I chase the dream I never catch it It's always so far away A life is all I have to offer Put my chains on keep me safe They gave me a house to live in Two kids and a beautiful wife All I have to do is believe them All I have to do is as they say They told me fight for freedom Free man tells no tales
