Ball And Chain - Sublime

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
