lyrics

I'm going to drag my burdens through the streets
I'm going to drag these chains, wrapped round my feet
And as I'm walking, I'm going to make you see
What this empire is doing to me

I don't want to take my medicine or be a good boy today
I don't want to go and buy something nice to take these blues away
I don't want a lobotomy - I don't want to watch the TV
I don't want to be pacified like everything's ok

We're going to drag our burdens through the streets
We're going to drag these chains, wrapped round our feet
And as we're walking, you're going to know too
What this empire is doing to you

All you men of sorrows and all you women of grief
All you stoney faces passing in the streets
All you sleeping tigers, hit by tranquilisers
All you kids been lied to for the last time by these cheats

We're going to drag our burdens through the streets
We're going to drag these chains, wrapped round our feet
And as we're walking, you're going to know too
What this empire is doing to you

Yes there will be trouble, and yes there will be grief
'Cause all these greedy shepherds don't care nothing for the sheep
The shepherds all are scheming but the sheep won't long be dreaming
'Cause there's One who watches over all and you know He doesn't sleep

We're going to drag our burdens through the streets
We're going to drag these chains, wrapped round our feet
And as we're walking, you're going to know too
What this empire is doing to you
