lyrics

just another link in the chain
another link in the chain
I’d like to be something special, but
I’m just a link in the chain
another link in the chain

my fathers had fathers before them
my line goes clear back to Cain
there were good men and bad men among them
each just a link in the chain

red-necked farmers and statesmen
others who sought only gain
there were artists and poets and conmen
each just a link in the chain

just another link in the chain
another link in the chain
I’d like to be something special, but
I’m just a link in the chain
another link in the chain

my mothers had mothers before them
some were crazy, most were sane
all daughters of Eve, they rejoiced and grieved
each just a link in the chain

pure-hearted maidens and hookers
martyrs who smiled through the pain
there were givers and takers and blue-eyed heart breakers
each just a link in the chain

just another link in the chain
another link in the chain
I’d like to be something special, but
I’m just a link in the chain
another link in the chain

just another link in the chain
another link in the chain
I’d like to be something special, but
I’m just a link in the chain
another link in the chain
