Shake Off Those Chains

Thea Gilmore

[Verse 1]
Shake off those chains
I know that living ain't easy
Let's name some names
Let the hollerin' free ya
Let's break loose
Crawl out from under that thumb
Then unpick the locks of those
That we put chains upon

[Verse 2]
Break down those walls
Until they're dust and rubble
Those boys on the hill
Oh, they're gonna smell trouble
Let's tear this palace up
Raze it to the ground
Then pass the hammer on to those
That we built walls around

[Bridge]
Human is as human does
We've been doing it just because
But follow those chains of command
And all the keys are in one hand

[Verse 3]
Break down those doors
Leave 'em bent and shattered
Don't just ask for more
Friends, you gotta come get it
Use them for firewood
To warm our hands upon
Then open up for those
We slammed our own doors on

[Instrumental - Trumpet solo]

[Verse 4]
And shake off those chains
Drop down the ladders
Whatever you've been taught
Aw, that stuff don't matter
Let's try out something new
And set each other free
If I take 'em off you
Someone'll do the same for me
If I take 'em off you
Someone'll do the same for me
