Sublime - Ball & Chain lyrics

People listen up don't stand to near<br>I got something that you all should hear.<br>All lies, all the lies she told to me<br>Make a litte part of history.<br>I was always taught that boy meets girl,<br>Fall in love get married and forget the world.<br>Nine months later, the sweet babys on the way.<br>Kiss 'em on the check and lifes ok.<br>I don't feel, no pain. I don't have, no time<br>To listen to conflicting points of view.<br>It's a crazy world to live alone,<br>A ball and chain I call my own<br><br>People listen up don't stand to close<br>I got something that you all should know<br>Holy matrimony is not for me.<br>Rather die alone in misery.<br>I was always taught that boy meets girl,<br>Fall in love get married and forget the world.<br>Nine months later, the sweet babys on the way.<br>Isn't that what they used to say? <br>With a girl that you knew,<br>And the bonds that we grew.<br>Turned into a ball and chain.<br>I step into the great unknown,<br>A ball and chain I call my own.<br>Crazy world to live alone<br><br>With a girl that you knew,<br>And the bonds that we grew,<br>Turned into a ball and chain.<br>I step into the great unknown,<br>With a ball and chain I call my own.<br>Because marriage doesn't work in the world today<br>It's an instiution that is in decay.<br>And if I have love I wish to portray,<br>I will surely find another way.<br><br>Because I was always taught boy meets girl,<br>Fall in love get married and forget the world.<br>Nine months later the sweet babys on the way,<br>Kiss 'em on the check and lifes ok.<br>I don't feel no pain, I don't have no time<br>To listen to conflicting points of view<br>I step into the great unknown,<br>With a ball and chain I call my own
