Текст песни Ball And Chain - Demo - Sublime

People listen up, don't stand too close
I've got something that you all should know
All the lies, all the lies they told you
Form a little part of history

I was always taught that boy meets girl
Fall in love, get married and forget the world
Nine months later, sweet baby's on the way
Kiss 'em on the cheek and life's okay

I don't feel no pain
I don't have no time
To listen to conflicting points of view
Oh, it's a crazy world to live alone
A ball and chain I call my own
A ba-na-na-na-na

Whoo!

People stand back, don't stand too near
God knows, I've got something that you all should hear
A holy matrimony's 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, sweet baby's on the way
Isn't that what they used to say?

With a girl that you knew
And the bonds you grew
All turn into a ball and chain

I step into the great unknown
On a ball and chain I call my own
A ba-na-na-na-na
Whoo!
Ba!

Crazy world to live alone

When a girl that you knew
And the bonds we grew
Turn into a ball and chain

I step into the great unknown
On a ball and chain I call my own

Because marriage doesn't work in the world today
It's an institution that is in decay
And if I have love I wish to portray
I will surely find another way

Because I was always taught that boy meets girl
Fall in love get married and forget the world
Nine months later, the sweet baby's on the way
Kiss 'em on the cheek and life's okay

With a girl that you knew
And the bonds we grew
All turn into a ball and chain
Woah

I step into the great unknown
On a ball and chain I call my own
A ba-num-ba-pum-pum
Whoo!
Uh!
