Chain By Design Songtext
von Blair Dunlop

This one′s for the idle unfounded
For the honest man free of the plain
Conception to grave
From pharaoh to slave
We all take part in the game
It's as old as it′s sacred and lauded
By the fairest who champion its case
Can keep your feet grounded
Leave others astounded
Absolve you when you fall from grace
Every insult you cried
Every time it's replied
Every compliment you won't stand fine
We may think that we′re free
In every degree
But we′re just in a chain by design
If the mind is able to reason
Then surely I'm the one in control
But at ′em oh at 'em keep passing the baton
Uncertainty taking its toll


And I wish that I′d done something different
Maybe I'm determined to rue
This lit cigarette means I still regret
I′m just predetermined to
Every aspect of life
Through relation and strife
This mortal coil's oddly divine
We may think that we're free
In every degree
But we′re just in a chain by design
Every footstep I place
Every dream that I chase
Can somewhere be traced down the line
You can influence me
But you′ll always be
A product of things preassigned
We may think that we're free
In every degree
But we′re just in a chain by design
We're just in a chain by design
