Yard Party - The Chains That Blind Lyrics

There's a knife lodged in my back
I stuck it in there with my own hands
And to be fair, it once put me to sleep
With dreams of the future and how we'll be alright

Now this machine speaks through the T.V.
It beds in big pockets and feeds on the weak
And I know I can't help but wonder
Are we divine, or are we all helpless?

Let freedom go
You never had it
Mining for gold
We never found it
Let freedom go
You never had it
Mining for gold
We never found it
Yeah!

We never found it!

You don't know what my family goes through
You don't know all my neighbors' names
You don't know how this city struggles
You don't know if the hungry ate
You don't know why the system's broken
You only care about our spare change
You don't know what our sons died for
You only know where their bodies lay, yeah

Alright!

Let freedom go
You never had it
Mining for gold
We never found it
We never found it
