Skindred Album

Caught in chains
Shackles are too tight
Squirming for your life because you've gone and lost your freedom
Manacles cut deep when they're too tight
You have to break the lock or find the key so you'll be freedmen
Enslaved by the wicked with power
You're smashing up the cells
You know the rifle's gonna fire
Uprising; we need not the chains
And we aren't gonna make the same mistakes again
If you want it, you've got to rise and take it
Got to wake up, you know you can't contain this
Stand for something or you'll fall for anything
If you want it you've got to fight for it
Wake up you'll never contain me
Stand for something or you'll fall for anything
Wolves they creep
Out to take the sheep
They're vulnerable they're easy like the weak and we'll protect them
Against the wall, now they execute
The blank and leader blank they always need someone to lead them
Restrained by the evil with power
Captain of creatures because of things you've learned somewhere
This uprising is certainly ready but you have gone and made the same mistakes again
If you want it you've got to rise and take it
Wake up you know you can't contain this
Stand for something or you'll fall for anything
If you want it you've got to fight for it
Wake up you'll never contain me
Stand for something or you'll fall for anything
Caught in chains
Shackles are too tight
Like squirming for your life because you've gone and lost your freedom
Manacles cut deep when they're too tight
You have to break the lock or find the key so you'll be freedmen
Enslaved by the wicked with power
Enslaved by the wicked with power
Enslaved by the wicked with power
Enslaved by the wicked
Everyday you live you've got to fight
You've got to stay around
If you want it you've got to rise and take it
Got to wake up you know you can't contain this
Stand for something or you'll fall for anything
If you want it you've got to fight for it
Wake up you'll never contain me
Stand for something or you'll fall for anything
Stand for something or you'll fall for anything
If you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything

Now in the street there is violence
And a lots of work to be done
No place to hang out our washing
and I can't blame all on the sun, oh no

We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher
we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher

Workin' so hard like a soldier
And can't afford a thing on TV
Deep in my heart, I'm a warrior
And can't get food for them kids, good God

We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher
Oh, we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher

Oh no...
Oh no...
Oh no...
Oh no..

We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher
We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher

Who is to blame in one country
You never can get to the one
Dealin' in multiplication
And you konw you never can to feed everyone, oh no

We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher
We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher

Out in the street...
Out in the street...
Out in the daytime...
Out in the night...

We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher
We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher

Out in the street...
Out in the street...
Out in the playground...
In the dark side of town..

We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher
Oh, we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher

[No lyrics]

I feel it succor
the way they crush your hopes and dreams
the hurtful words they lay
reflecting on their place

to tell me i can't do it
and i'll accomplish nothing
that you kill my seeds before they grow
that you criticize

you blew my world away
with all that was spoken
turn my blue skies into grey
(?)

to tell me i can't do it
and i'll accomplish nothing
to kill my seeds before they grow
that you criticize

to tell me i can't do it
and i'll accomplish nothing
to kill my seeds before they grow
that you criticize

shine into the dark illuminate
you can't kill my light
flame can be extinguished if too great
you can't kill my light
shine into the dark illuminate
you can't kill my light
flame can be extinguished if too great
can't kill my light
shine illuminate
shine illuminate
shine into the dark illuminate
you can't kill my light
flame can be extinguished if too great
can't kill my light
shine

What's going on with earth?
Don't you know what life is worth?
It's all getting wilder everyday no worldwide security, no love there it's plain to see
And that not the way it's meant to be
We must be strong
We got to get along
Now look inside yourself
You'll find the strength to carry on
We must be strong
In so much confusion
They're playing tit for tat and dem increase the tension

And it's days like these
When everyone dem really need to come together
Days like these,who wants to live?
We got to live in
Days like these
When everyone dem really need to come together
Days like these,who wants to live?
Live!

So many just out for themselves
And trust in material wealth
You're building your mansions on the sand
By building new ways of war
You're breaking and bending the law
And who knows what's next
And what is in store?

We must be strong
We got to get along
Now look inside yourself
You'll find the strength to carry on
We must be strong
In so much confusion
They're playing tit for tat and dem increase the tension

And it's days like these
When everyone dem really need to come together
Days like these, who wants to live?
We got to live in
Days like these
When everyone dem really need to come together
Days like these, who wants to live?
Live!

These times we're living in, head down I cry for sure
One love one aim one heart
We don't need none of that, we don't need none of that
These times we're living in I just can't take much more
We don't need none of that, we don't need none of that

In days like these, and it's days like these
When everyone dem really need to come together
Days like these, who wants to live?
We got to live in
Days like these
When everyone dem really need to come together
Days like these, we got to live
We got to live in
