Intro
--- x2
I woke up this mornin' and the world was gray
Haven't seen the sun since they hauled me away
The boss man says there's no use in tryin'
He won't let me color outside of the lines
Got these chains on me, and they're dragging me down
Got these chains on me, hear their clanking sound
Got these chains on me, mister hear my song
Don't say imagination is morally wrong
As long as I've been here I got nothing to show
Try to make something but the bosses know
Wanna be creative but the man won't hear it
The big boss man is tryin' to crush my spirit
Got these chains on me, they won't let me fly
Got these chains on me, won't tell me why
Got these chains on me, mister hear my song
Don't say imagination is morally wrong
Oh, they won't let us dance or bang that gum
'Cause they say imagination is morally wrong...
