There's a sound at night
That makes me wonder so
Ours is a cruel world
As calm as this darkness is
And somebody's crying
Does anybody really care
If babies are dying
And will this chain still grow
How can you not hear
When the volume's so high
One reaction strikes another
Incendiary scars within
Chain chain
Chain chain
Harsh little words
Disguised with innocence
Break down
Break down
And scar someone's confidence
There's a slave in chains
Who works by night and day
Her torment is brutal
She prays they'll stop one day
But somebody's crying
Does anybody really care
If babies are dying
And will this chain still grow
How can you not hear
When the volume's so high
One reaction strikes another
Incendiary scars within
Chain chain
Chain chain
