[Verse 1]
I just graduated, top of my class
Furthest from last
So why do I feel so bad?
So why do I feel so bad?
I'm emancipated, out on my own
Got it under control
So why do I feel so bad?
Why do I feel so bad?

[Pre-Chorus]
You must do what's right, I always do what's right
Black and white, I think I see a different side
Tow the line

[Chorus]
No, I said, hey!
A link is breaking out of the chain
Hey!
A link is breaking out of the chain
I got a feeling that a break is gonna happen maybe right now, right now

[Post-Chorus]
Come on
Go there
Surprise me
You little link in the chain
[Verse 2]
Punch in, punch out
Bad food, still swallow
Same ripped old jeans
Blind leader I'd follow
What does it say about me, what does it say about us? (I don't know)
Cat's cradle of a lifetime
Is it really like this?
Am I just another gel man?
Don't listen to him, just listen to me
Yeah, I think a link is b-b-b-b-b-b-breakin' free

[Pre-Chorus]
You must do what's right, I always do what's right
Black and white, I think I see a different side
Tow the line

[Chorus]
I said, hey!
A link is breaking out of the chain
Hey!
A link is breaking out of the chain
I got a feeling that a break is gonna happen maybe right now, right now

[Outro]
I see you sitting like an arrow
Never flatter
You little break in the chain
You little break in the chain
