John Sebastian - Link In The Chain lyrics

Well the caveman carried the wood to the fire And never gave a thought to sendin' power through a wire He raised up his head and he winced from the pain And said, "Lord, have mercy, I'm a link in the chain!" Just another link in the chain Just another link in the chain I'll pa** this world on to my daughters and sons Just another link in the chain Now the whale he sings at the bottom of the sea But he comes up to breathe like you an' me And that's when he meets the whaler with the deadly aim Now I wish just once in the time that remains That he could speak right up in a voice so plain Slap his tail on the water like a hurricane And cry, "Don't k** me, I'm a link in the chain." Just another link in the chain Just another link in the chain I'll pa** this world on to my daughters and sons Just another link in the chain Now it's the same in this world as inside you and I The little cells live and the little cells die And they pa** information on down to the next in line And the one at the end learns everybody's song And he makes another link and he pa**es them along And we got to keep the chain together till the end of time Just another link in the chain Just another link in the chain I'll pa** this world on to my daughters and sons Just another link in the chain
