They got a plan for me
Ya know you they got a plan for you
They're gonna do to us
Whatever hell they wanna do
You're on your P's and Q's
Like a real good guy
When the iron fist
Comes across the sky
And they drop the hammer
And hit you with the whips and chains
Whips and chains
Whips and chains
They gather you up
And hit you with the whips and chains
Modern life
It ain't all it's cracked up to be
It's a full time job
Swimming through duplicity
You're on shaky ground
Whatever you do
When it feels real good
Between me and you
Well then right out of the blue
They hit us with the whips and chains
Whips and chains
Whips and chains
They gather us up
And hit us with the whips and chains
Nah nah nah nah ..
I made a real bad bet
Last nite at the OTB
Now a real bad bookie's
Gonna throw the book at me
He looked like Trump
And I felt like a chump
Comin out the gate
He got a real good jump
He's just beating that horse
With a different kind of whips and chains
Whips and chains
Whips and chains
They gather you up
And hit you with the whips and chains
Whips and chains
Whips and chains
They gather you up
And hit you with the whips and chains
