Aren't you a mess? You shouldn't act like this
You stand right there and laugh in my face
You ask me why I haven't left

Are you feeling fine? Have you really got the time
To bother to write one line? Don't lay you on the line
It's easy to be the missing link

You're living your life in a chain gang - you're so well guarded
You're living your life in a chain gang - you're so retarded

Are you feeling fine? Have you really got the time
To bother to write one line? Don't lay you on the line
It's easy when you're the missing link

Are you feeling brave? You might dig your own grave
Use the money that you save lose the money that you save
You shout out they're all the wrong answers

You're living your life in a chain gang - you're so well guarded
You're living your life in a chain gang - you're so retarded

You're waiting for someone who will never come
You're waiting to hear someone who won't even call
Yeah

You're living your life in a chain gang - you're so well guarded
You're living your life in a chain gang - you're so retarded
