Lyrics

Chains

North thaws, South disappears
East vanishes, West fades
Cut the love out of my days
You'd see me in chains

North thaws, South disappears
East vanishes, West fades
Draw down the moon and walk away
You'd see me in chains

Don't need another violent summer
I don't need another violent summer
Don't need another violent summer
I don't need another violent summer

Of sham youth, sham art
Sham revolution, sham hearts
Sham love, sham death
Sham lives, sham sex

Sham rock and roll
Sham rock and roll
Sham rock and roll
Sham rock and roll
Sham rock and roll
Sham rock and roll

North thaws, South disappears
East vanishes, West fades
Draw down the moon and walk away
You'd see me in chains

In chains
You'd see me in chains
In chains
You'd see me in chains

Don't need another violent summer
Of sham rock and roll
Sham rock and roll

Don't need another violent summer
Of sham rock and roll
Sham rock and roll

Don't need another violent summer
Of sham rock and roll
Sham rock and roll

Don't need another violent summer
Of sham rock and roll
Sham rock and roll
