Shadows and Chain

From out of the shadows the boat came
Coming across the ocean trying 2 take our names
From out of their mouths the false claims
One hand out 2 greet us
Another one holding the chains.....
This incredible song is on a boot named"Vegas volume 2"
2 all who have heard it can u please tell me what ur take on this song is smile
Would I maybe b correct in saying its more a religious mantra than a racial 1..
I aint very good at deciphering songs even with simple messages in them and would love 2 hear what all y'all think of this song and maybe educate me....
p.s I aint felt like this about a Prince song 4 years its a fucking incredible piece and I hope it makes it on the new album smile
u know u want 2...so do it

Sounds interesting - really want to hear it. Any advice..? biggrin

From what i understand, from the playlists i've seen, it's not on the new album neutral
"London, i've adopted a name that has no pronounciation.... is that cool with you?"

"YEAH!!!"

"Yeah, well then fuck those other fools!"

It's a cover (with new lyrics apart from the refrain) of the classic Fleetwood Mac song "The Chain" from their album "Rumours" 1977. smile
