Sublime - Ball And Chain Lyrics

Sublime
Miscellaneous
Ball And Chain
people listen up
don't stand to close
i got something that you all should know,
all the lies,
all the lies they told to me
from a little part of history,

see i was always taught that boy meets girl
fall in love get married
and forget the world nine months later
sweet babys on the way kiss 'em on the cheek
and lifes o.k.,

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 stand back
don't stand top near
i've got something that you all should hear
holy matrimonys not for me

rather die alone in misery
because marriage doesn't work in the world today
it's an institution
and it's 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...
i step into the great unknown
