Ball And Chain — текст песни (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
