Mary wears a red dress every night Her opposites are corner lights Working for the man who keeps her in her place Working late Sister secretary sweats all day Underneath the bosses phone Back to see him after hours for a raise What a shame We got our women in chains, women in chains What good are women in chains? Isn't it strange, people are afraid to change We got our women in chains Suzie, mother, housewife scrubs the floor Always drives the kids to school Never keeps her husband waiting for a meal Such a deal He goes on a bender, she stays home Waiting for another fight The booze is in the bedroom mirror never fade She's afraid We got our women in chains, women in chains What good are women in chains? Isn't it strange, people are afraid to change We got our women in chains You don't have to wear your cuffs tonight You don't have to be a slave You don't have to buy your freedom with your pain It's a shame We got our women in chains, women in chains What good are women in chains? Isn't it strange, people are afraid to change We got our women in chains, women in chains What good are women in chains? Isn't it strange, people are afraid to change We got our women in chains Women in chains Women in chains We got our women in chains We got our women in chains
