New filk: Clank Your Chains

[Arthur T.]

First verse is a mashup of two (anonymous?) sources.
Then, as usual, I couldn't leave well enough alone.

Title: Clank Your Chains
ttto: If You're Happy And You Know It

If you're happy and you know it, clank your chains.
If you're happy and you know it, clank your chains.
If you're happy and you know it,
Overthinking will just blow it.
If you're happy and you know it, clank your chains.

If you're miserable and know it, clank your chains.
If you're miserable and know it, clank your chains.
If you're miserable and know it,
It's a shame you won't outgrow it.
If you're miserable and know it, clank your chains.

If you're mad as hell and know it, clank your chains.
If you're mad as hell and know it, clank your chains.
If you're mad as hell and know it,
City Hall's there, overthrow it.
If you're mad as hell and know it, clank your chains.

Revolution is the answer, clank your chains.
Revolution is the answer, clank your chains.
Revolution is the answer,
Status quo is just a cancer.
Revolution is the answer, clank your chains.

Guessing a lyricist's opinions from his songs is as futile as
guessing an author's opinions from his novels.

I'm not sure a non-political performance of this one is possible.
