Break the Chain

Suzie's daddy just nags and shouts
She yells back then they have it out
She wants to run away and get married real bad
But her boyfriend Joe is just like Dad
Break the chain

Billy is another kid right across town
His dad left his mom 'cause she held him down
To think about his father just drives him mad
But his uses his girlfriends, just like dad
Break the chain

Break the chain
Cut the cord, end the curse
Stop the rain, no, no
Break the chain
Break the chain
The family sin will do you in
So break the chain

Brеak it

Little Jan was a battered child
Shе used to hide out while her mama went wild
Will she raise the seeds that her mama has sewn?
What's she gonna do with kids of her own?
She better break the chain

I could tell Reggie was a preacher's kid
By the fire in his eye and the things he did
He never heard his father say, "I love you"
When Reggie has a son, tell me, what's he gonna do?
He better break the chain

Break the chain
Cut the cord, end the curse
Stop the rain, no
Break the chain
Break the chain
The family sin will do you in
So break the chain

Sometimes sin is just a family tradition
Burn the family tree to the ground
Nobody wants to inherit the flames
And you sure don't want to pass them down

Break the chain, oh, yeah

Oh, break the chain
Come on, break the chain
Cut the cord, end the curse
Stop the rain, no, no
Oh, break the chain
Oh, break the chain
The family sin will do you in
So break the chain

Please, break the chain
You can break the chain
The family sin will do you in
So break the chain

Break the chain
Oh, break the chain
Cut the cord, end the curse
Stop the, stop the...
Sto-sto-sto-stop the rain
Break the chain
The family sin will do you in
So break the chain

Break it
I said, break it
