someone was singing this song at Ms. Hill's concert the other night and she said "you know that song?? That's unreleased music!!" and she smiled her beautiful smile! It was awesome!
after so many years this song still has relevance!! i hear her finally! she is serious about all of her! her life, her spirituality, her career, her family. she is walking the walk.
I think it is "so concerned with what the people think, that you can't tell the truth....trapped in only obligation, when your life's an occupation...suffocating with each gullible choice you've made, pretending to be happy...keeping up with image...pretending to be healthy...so politically correct, social obligation you keep dieing to protect"
So concerned with what the people think Too many tired of the truth The politician spirits holding me down So determined to be worshipped At the price of your soul The politician spirit's holding me down Can you even fathom freedom? Trapped in only obligation Can you imagine freedom with your lives in occupation? Oh, it's chains, yes Politicians spirit holding me down Oh, it's chains, chains The politicians spirit holding me down
Waiting Suffocating With each noble choice you've made Attempting to be happy Oh, its just a masquerade Keeping up an image Hoping God will soon be pleased Attempting to be healthy You're so wealthy and diseased Oh, it's chains, yeah Politicians spirit holding me down Oh, it's chains, yeah The politicians spirit holding me down
Is there ANYONE who knows how I can get ahold of her music??? "Gaurding the Gates", "Damnable Heiresses", "Chains". I really need this music in my life like, everyday.
One of the voices that is not afraid to speak the TRUTH among the many voices of LIES within the industry! MUCHO RESPECT, MS. HILL!

The world is spinning faster
You're too busy to inspect
A life of compromise
So political correct
Social obligation, in denying to protect
Is just a social obligation that I will no longer respect
Oh, it's chains
The politicians spirit holding me down
Oh, it's chains, yeah
The politicians spirit holding me down

Oh, and its holding, holding, holding me down; and its
Holding me, holding me, holding me down; and its
Holding me, holding, holding me down; and it's
Holding me, holding, holding me down
And, we still got time to change
We got time to change
Thank God we still got time to change, yes
Thank God we still got time to change the world
Thank God we still got time to change
To change, yeah-ah
