And if you know what is the answer
Why don’t you tell me
What does it feel like
To be free, Yeah
What does it feel like

Take a look at the punks
On the run from all the ministers
Collecting for the criminals
And the judges or the blame
If you’re innocent or your guilty
Or you’ve never been given a chance
And you’ll never find an answer
There’s always, always, always, always
Just one more link to the chain

And if you’ve found
What you think you’ve been looking for
Don’t look back

A, cause you won’t find nothing
Anymore

And I, I, I, know
I guess you won’t find nothing

You’ll take a look at the punks
On the run from all the ministers
Collecting for the criminals
And the judges or the blame
If you’re innocent or your guilty
Or you’ve never been given a chance
And you’ll never find an answer
There’s always, always, always, always
Just one more link to the chain

Just one more link to the chain
Just one more link to the chain
Just one more
(Just one more link to the chain)
Take a, take a, take a look
(Just one more link to the chain)
Take a look at the punks
(Just one more link to the chain)
At the ministers collecting
(Just one more link to the chain)

And there’s always, always, always, always
Just one more link to the chain
