Billy Bragg, Wilco - Chain of Broken Hearts lyrics

This world looks like a chain
Of heavy broken hearts
It chains my brothers and sisters all apart
Link after link it clatters thru my land
This long heavy chain of broken hearts

Selfish pride is one link in this chain
And you better drive it out of your heart
Brother and sister when you do it's
Then that you'll get loose
From this long heavy chain of broken hearts

It's this long heavy chain of broken hearts
It's this long heavy chain of broken hearts
You gotta find your union before
You can get free
From this long heavy chain of broken hearts

Fear is a link in this chain
Of sorrow and trouble and pain
Drive out your fear and you will break apart
This long heavy chain of broken hearts

Jealousy is a link of the worst
A worry, a blister and a curse
Join our union band and break with your hands
This long heavy chain of broken hearts

This long heavy chain of broken hearts
This long heavy chain of broken hearts
You gotta find your union before
You can get free
From this long heavy chain of broken hearts

It's when you are free from this chain
Love will come and fill you up again
Show your friends and neighbors
How to break away
From this long heavy chain of broken hearts

Yes this long heavy chain of broken hearts
This long heavy chain of broken hearts
You gotta find your union before
You can get free
From this long heavy chain of broken hearts
