Ball & Chain Lyrics by Sublime

Ball & Chain

People listen up dont stand to near
I got something that you all should hear.
All lies, all the lies she told to me
Make a litte part of history.
I was always taught that boy meets girl,
Fall in love get married and forget the world.
Nine months later, the sweet babys on the way.
Kiss em on the check and lifes ok.
I dont feel, no pain. I dont have, no time
To listen to conflicting points of view.
Its a crazy world to live alone,
A ball and chain I call my own

People listen up dont stand to close
I got something that you all should know
Holy matrimony is not for me.
Rather die alone in misery.
I was always taught that boy meets girl,
Fall in love get married and forget the world.
Nine months later, the sweet babys on the way.
Isnt that what they used to say?
With a girl that you knew,
And the bonds that we grew.
Turned into a ball and chain.
I step into the great unknown,
A ball and chain I call my own.
Crazy world to live alone

With a girl that you knew,
And the bonds that we grew,
Turned into a ball and chain.
I step into the great unknown,
With a ball and chain I call my own.
Because marriage doesnt work in the world today
Its an instiution that is in decay.
And if I have love I wish to portray,
I will surely find another way.

Because I was always taught boy meets girl,
Fall in love get married and forget the world.
Nine months later the sweet babys on the way,
Kiss em on the check and lifes ok.
I dont feel no pain, I dont have no time
To listen to conflicting points of view
I step into the great unknown,
With a ball and chain I call my own
