DAISY CHAIN
This is the chain a nation long
Circling 50 million strong
And round again
This is the day the last one stands
Puts down a gun
And the final hands close the chain
In a topsy-turvy world
You harm the weak
And you hold the power
The dealers sell the truth
And like the walls
Are quickly named “Insein”
And never seen again
On a dusty avenue
The shadow army with its rifles trained
On a crowd that swells in spite
Here to see a sight
They know could cost their lives
No more afraid to die
This is the chain…
The curtains of betrayal
And intimidation roll away
And a crowd so graciously
Ask to please be left to live their lives
Far from prying eyes
This is the chain…
This is the chain a nation long

And like the walls

No more afraid to die

And intimidation roll away
And a crowd so graciously
Ask to please be left to live their lives
Far from prying eyes
This is the chain…
