A master pays to lose
His time holds the cue
Justify my wage
Perfection or to change
Regret it came without sense
We'll work and never rest
Sadly no one keeps the chain
A rhyme to no reason his name
Keep the chain
A master hides the key
Make them pay with fear
Made-up minds of what will be
Dreams of freedom see
For the hills, before our time
My word my peace of mind
For the hills, I don't see change
My word now in old age
Sadly, no one keeps the chain
Sadly, a rhyme to no reason his name
Sadly, I'm running out of time
Sadly, my word my peace of mind
Oh stop, your mumbles of a future
Oh stop, your Key West picture frame
Oh stop, you paid smiling daisies
For some of us, it's working hands in chains
Keep the chain, you filthy animal
