〈Verse 1〉
South of a jail cell in Mississippi
I met a free man from Memphis, Tennessee
The freedom’s row’s looking mighty slippery
Still doing hard time, devils in his mind
He’s got a screw loose in need of asylum
Still letting lunatics freely run the show
He’s got a chain reference right beside him
All stuff his momma said, still he didn’t know
She said
〈Chorus〉
(Chains) Come in every shape and size
(Chains) I don’t even feel them after a while
(Chains) Links of little compromises
(Chains) I’ll trade my kingdom for a file
〈Verse 2〉
I knew a hard man, works the circus
A strip of leather keeps the animals at bay
All thе elephants stay in a circle
A simplе bracelet round a single leg
He said as long now as I’ve been living
I get to thinking ’bout what keeps ’em here
Their strength is ten times the opposition
Must be a brain thing keeping them in fear
Yeah it’s a brain thing keeping them in fear
It’s like
〈Chorus〉
(Chains) Come in every shape and size
(Chains) I don’t even feel them after a while
(Chains) Links of little compromises
(Chains) I’ll trade my kingdom, my kingdom
〈Chorus〉
(Chains) Yeah
(Chains) I don’t even feel them after a while
(Chains) Links of little compromises
(Chains) I’ll trade my kingdom for a file

〈Bridge〉
Every morning cutting on these little rotten things
Ain’t got no metal file ever gonna break these rings
Still hooked to something wrapped around my brain
Gotta hear some freedom
For my heart is wrapped in chains
〈Chorus〉
(Chains) Come in every shape and size
(Chains) I don’t even feel them after a while
(Chains) Links of little compromises
(Chains) I’ll trade my kingdom, my kingdom
〈Chorus〉
(Chains) For a file
Come on (Chains) Don’t even feel them after a while no
(Chains) Links of little compromises
(Chains) I’ll trade my kingdom, my kingdom
〈Chorus〉
(Chains) Yeah
(Chains) Don’t even feel them after a while
(Chains) Links of little compromises
(Chains) I’ll trade my kingdom, my kingdom
〈Chorus〉
(Chains) For a file
(Chains) I don’t even feel them after a while
(Chains) Links of little compromises
(Chains) I’ll trade my kingdom, my kingdom for a file
