Lyrics

Shackles
verse 1
You walk your way, I'll walk mine
As I will do, to the end of time
An anarchist, since single figures
Mad laws and rules, pulled my trigger
Scream and shout, it's all out of hand
We're living in a Stazi land, yes there's
chorus
Too many laws, all so full of flaws, yes there's
Too many laws rained down on us all, now we're
Drenched to the skin, no more cells to hold us in
No, no, no no more, no more shackles to live in
No, no no no no more, no more
Shackles to, shackles to live in
Verse 2
When I look back, on my young punk days
They said it was just a crazy phase
Thirty years on, it still feels so so strong
The youth pissed off, put it in a song
Our liberty is fading so fast,
Tell me how long, oppressions to last, yes there's
chorus
Too many laws, all so full of flaws, yes there's
Too many laws rained down on us all, now we're
Drenched to the skin, no more cells to hold us in
No, no, no no more, no more shackles to live in
No, no no no no more, no more
Shackles to, shackles to live in
Verse 3
We're not androids servile clones
To do as they say on parliament thrones
Dis-harmony it's out of kilter
Modern world makes for a sad, sad letter
Why would ET come see you and me
When our world is a catastrophe, yes there's
chorus
Too many laws, all so full of flaws, yes there's
Too many laws rained down on us all, now we're
Drenched to the skin, no more cells to hold us in
No, no, no no more, no more shackles to live in
No, no no no no more, no more
Shackles to, shackles to live in, no no no
No no no............no no no more shackles in our lives
