Nobody's got to wear another mans chains
Nobody's got to wear another mans chains

Well, they hear it in Pretoria, they hear it in Beijing
The loud bells of freedom waiting to ring
Well, the people in power getting tired, getting old
The people under their thumb, they're just about to explode
The tear gas wont stop them, neither will tanks

Nobody's got to wear another mans chains
Nobody's got to wear another mans chains

Give me liberty or give me death
Any other way ain't worth my dying breath
Shout it on the radio, play it on tv
You ain't got nothing without the right to be free
I said, the people in power will be the people in pain

Nobody's got to wear another mans chains
Nobody's got to wear another mans chains
Nobody's got to wear another mans chains
Nobody's got to wear another mans chains
Nobody's got to wear another mans chains
Nobody's got to wear another mans chains
Nobody's got to wear another mans chains
