Chained and bell they can't contain me
Bruise and beat they couldn't chain me no
Shut up all their plans I did

Here I am lost on their grid oh no

And when the ship hits the fan

Tell me who you think is the man
The one who would make me stand
I'll bite my tongue, I'll bite my tongue

I'll bite my tongue, I'll bite my tongue
I'll keep the mouth shut for you


Tired of gag they would have loved me
Sad and blue you would have found me no
My silence had set you free

Now don't you go and tell on me oh no

And when the ship hits the fan

Tell me who you think is the man
The one who would make me stand
I'll bite my tongue, I'll bite my tongue

I'll bite my tongue, I'll bite my tongue
I'll keep the mouth shut for you X 2
