Your hunger after money 
Your parents agree 
The things you don’t require 
You kid yourself you need 
Neglect the flower of love 
Give your worship to the weed 
Your just adding links to a long and heavy chain 
The selfishness that drives 
So much of what you do 
That a fixes your attention 
Completely up on you 
Your record is take away much more than your due 
Your just adding links to a long and heavy chain 
A heavy chain gets longer all the time 
What should be easy going 
Turns into a mountain climb 
A heavy chain gets heavier 
Day by day 
It keeps you anchored to the ground 
So that your heart cant fly a way 
The whiskey and the women 
You use to blow your mind 
Are deadly on their own 
And double deadly when combined 
They satisfy your senses but leave your soul behind 
Your just adding links to a long and heavy chain 
A heavy chain gets longer all the time 
What should be easy going 
Turns into a mountain climb 
The heavy chain gets heavier 
Day by day 
It keeps you anchored to the ground 
So that your heart cant fly a way 
A heavy chain gets longer all the time 
What should be easy going 
Turns into a mountain climb 
A heavy chain gets heavier 
Day by day 
It keeps you anchored to the ground 
So that your heart cant fly a way 
Your hunger after money 
The whiskey and the women 
It’s a long and heavy chain 
Such a long and heavy chain
