Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I just graduated
Top of my class
Furthest from last
So why do I feel so bad?
Why do I feel so bad?
[Verse 2]
I'm emancipated
Out on my own
Got it under control
So why do I feel so bad?
Why do I feel so bad?
[PreChorus]
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 outta the chain
Hey
A link is breaking outta the chain
I got a feeling that a break is gonna happen maybe right now
Right now
Come on
Go there
Surprise me
You little link in the chain
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Cats cradle of a lifetime
Is it really like this
Am I just another gel man?
Don't listen to him, just listen to me
I think a link is b-b-b-b-breaking free
[PreChorus]
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 outta the chain
I got a feeling that a break is gonna happen maybe right now
Right now
I see you sitting like an arrow
You little break in the chain
You little break in the chain
