Sublime - Ball & Chain Lyrics
People listen up dont stand to nearI got something that you all should hear.All lies, all the lies she told to meMake 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 dont feel, no pain. I dont have, no timeTo listen to conflicting points of view.Its a crazy world to live alone,A ball and chain I call my ownPeople listen up dont stand to closeI got something that you all should knowHoly 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.Isnt 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 aloneWith 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 doesnt work in the world todayIts 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 dont feel no pain, I dont have no timeTo listen to conflicting points of viewI step into the great unknown,With a ball and chain I call my own
