 
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.) 
Chains are the temporary things that should not be hanging on me.
