"Break the chains"?

Crazy ways on the streets - it's a freak show
Times have changed since I was day one old
There he lies on the ground with his torn up clothes
Gotta help this man but he is not alone

There'g got to be a way - That's what I say to myself
But if I try too hard - I'm right back on that shelf
You give and give and give - you think you've won this race
People crying - people dying - seems like it's lost in space

Break the chains! Of this freak show, ah
Clear my brains - I can't take no more, yeah
Break the chains! Of this freak show, da da ra ra
Clear my brains - I can't take no more

Crazy ways on the streets it's a freak show
Times have change since I was day one old
There he stands with no hope - and his pride in chains
Gotta help this man because his soul's in pain

There's got to be a way - That's what I say to myself
but if I try too hard - I'm right back on that shelf
You give and give and give- you think you've won this race
People crying - people dying - seems like it's lost in space

There's got to be a way

Chorus

Break the chains! Of this freak show
Clear my brains! I can't take no more
