Set Me Free Lyrics

Oh won't you set me free from the chains and shackles called limitation?
Oh won't you set me free...waste of time, known as occupation?
Oh won't you set me free...I sing this song to relieve my frustration? Oh set me free- yes sir, cup o' tea, long meditations...

(Chorus)
I hear them working on a chain gang, I've heard that song before
I hear them working on a chain gang, livin' lives of the poor
I hear them working on a chain gang, it's time to win this war, time to win this war
I hear them working on a chain gang, bleeding hearts, broken soul

[Bridge]
Action, reaction- you've been living blind, so blind
No need to hate one another, love and respect all mankind
Action, reaction- stop wasting my time, I need some reaction won't ya put your heart to mine



[Refrain]
(Set me free!) I hear them working on a chain gang, I've heard that song before
(Set me free!) I hear them working on a chain gang, livin' lives of the poor, no no!
(Set me free!) I hear them working on a chain gang, it's time to win this war, time to stop this war
I hear them working on a chain gang...

[Bridge]
Action, reaction- you've been living blind, so blind
No need to hate one another, love and respect all mankind
Action, reaction- stop wasting my time, I need some reaction won't ya put your heart-- put your heart to mine!

Oh won't you set me free? Hear my plea! Oh won't you set me free? No more trouble! Oh won't you set me free? Mercy, mercy me! Oh won't you set me free? No more hatred! Oh won't you set me free? No more heartache! Oh won't you set me free, I'm telling you! Oh won't you set me--no more trouble set me free...

No, no, no! (Can you hear my plea? Can you hear my plea?) No trouble! No trouble!

No, no, no! (Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy me...) No trouble! No trouble!

No, no, no! (Can you hear my plea? Can you hear my plea?) No trouble! No trouble!
