[00:08.66]I woke up this mornin', and the world was gray
[00:13.14]Haven't seen the sun since they hauled me away
[00:16.98]The boss man says there's no use in tryin'
[00:20.96]He won't let me color outside of the lines
[00:24.77]Got these chains on me
[00:26.39]And, they're draggin' me down
[00:28.48]Got these chains on me
[00:30.79]Hear that clankin' sound?
[00:32.59]Got these chains on me
[00:34.65]Mister, hear my song
[00:36.96]Don't say imagination is morally wrong
[00:42.75]Mm-hmm-hmm
[00:44.70]Drink of water, boss?
[00:49.05]As long as I've been here I've got nothin' to show
[00:52.99]Try to make somethin' but the boss says no
[00:57.01]Wanna be creative but the man won't hear it
[01:01.21]That big boss man is tryin' to crush my spirit
[01:04.54]Got these chains on me
[01:06.64]They won't let me fly
[01:08.49]Got these chains on me
[01:10.58]Won't tell me why
[01:12.42]Got these chains on me
[01:14.61]Mister, hear my song
[01:16.99]Don't say imagination is morally wrong
[01:20.67]No, they won't let us dance or bang that gong
[01:24.89]'Cause they say imagination is morally wrong!
