Link In The Chain

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 pass 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 kill me, I'm a link in the chain."
 Just another link in the chain
 Just another link in the chain
 I'll pass 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 pass 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 passes 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 pass this world on to my daughters and sons
 Just another link in the chain
