Golden Chains (Hand Me Downs) letra

I'm leaving, going, laying down them golden chains, old boy
My bodies getting back at me for dancing without joy

Those hand-me-downs were all I ever got to use
To keep free of fear, keep me laying here
They keep me free of fear and tied to you

The very worse thing that I have ever done
Was deliberately lose something I worked for hard and won
Those hand-me-downs were just to cut and dry
To vindicate my life and damn the lies

Those hand-me-downs were all I ever got to use
To keep free of fear, keep me staying here
They keep me free of fear and tied to you

Tragedy it has an ancient sole
This small time desperation is the only thing I know
Oh but those hand me downs were meant to satisfy
To keep us free from fear and half-alive

Those hand-me-downs were all I ever got to use
To keep free of fear, keep me laying here
They keep me free of fear and tied to you

Oh I'm leaving, going, laying down them golden chains, old boy
My spirits getting back at me for dancing without joy
Those hand-me-downs were all I ever got to use
To keep me free of fear and tied to you

Those hand-me-downs were all I ever got to use
To keep free of fear, keep me laying here
They keep me free of fear and tied to you

Those hand-me-downs
Those hand-me-downs
Those hand-me-downs are dragging me down
Those hand-me-downs
