I don't want any trouble I don't want to make any waves I don't want any conscience And I don't wanna be brave I've kept my distance My feelings have never been shown I know that I've been walking fences Denied what I have known I carry chains I carry chains Heavy heavy chains chains that are made I carry chains I carry chains 'round my feet I feel the weight I feel the weight Chains are the different things That should not be hanging on me I put my conscience under a stone The stone under the ground Walked from where I had left it I hoped it couldn't be found My conscience persisted It's a haunted seed I have sown Calls me out from the distance And it just won't leave me alone I carry chains I carry chains Chains that are made chains that are made I carry heavy chains I carry chains Talk about the weight I feel the weight I carry chains Oh I feel the weight I feel I feel I carry chains that I feel the weight I feel the weight Chains are the temporary things That should not be hanging on me I carry chains chains that are made I carry heavy chains I feel the weight I carry chains chains that are made I carry chains I feel the weight I carry chains chains that are made I carry chains I feel the weight
