The Chain Gang Lyrics

When God looked down where the devil reigns
He saw a whole lot of people carrying chains
They were digging up holes for their very own sin
Oh it's gonna be the grave the devil puts them in
They were bound by hate they were bound by greed they were slaved to the things that they just don't need
Well Satan's got a whole lot of people working on the chain gang (working on the chain gang)
Shackled to the world carrying their guilt and shame (carrying their guilt and shame)
But God saw a whole lot of people working on the chain gang (working on the chain gang)
So he sent his son and his son came to break those chains
Well there ain't no help down in this hole
The devil's got ahold and he won't let go
Well I got time threw my shovel down
Fell to my knees there on the ground
Well the devil said son you belong to me
So I cried to the lord would you set me free
I don't want to die end up in hell

Forgive me lord
That's when the shackles fell (that's when the shackles fell)
Satan's got a whole lot of people working on the chain gang (working on the chain gang)
Shackled to the world carrying their guilt and shame (carrying their guilt and shame)
But God saw a whole lot of people working on the chain gang
So he sent his son and his son and his son came to break those chains
God sent his son and his son came to break those chains
He's gonna break those chains
He's gonna break those chains
He's gonna break those chains
He's gonna break those chains
He's gonna break those chains
He's gonna break those chains
He's gonna break those chains
