Ball and Chain

So how are you

What do you do?

I couldn't help but notice that you've got one too

It's what we do

What's good for you?

I think I might have had another déjà vu

That silver spoon

In front of you

Invisible to others but so clear to you

We share a view

So I assume

That's why we're standing in this crowded room

We think it's more than a little strange...

That you found a name for that ball and chain

Why do you think that we don't complain?

'Cos we found a way to play through all that pain

Strap your shoes

And pay your dues

'Cos where we're goin' ain't no pleasure cruise

You'll need some tools

Forget the rules

Just run for cover when I light the fuse

We think it's more than a little strange...

That you found a name for that ball and chain

Why do you think that we don't complain?

'Cos we found a way to play through all that pain

You know we're all the same

And rules are just a part of the game

...But sometimes rules get broken

So win or lose

You can't refuse

'Cos maybe one day we'll be front page news

That's what we do

Was that good for you?

Perhaps some day we'll share another déjà vu

We think it's more than a little strange...

That you found a name for that ball and chain

Why do you think that we don't complain?

'Cos we foud a way to play through all that pain

You know we're all the same

And rules are just part of the game

...But sometimes rules get broken!

Why do you think that we don't complain?

'Cos we found a way to play through all that pain

We think it's more than a little strange...

That you found a name for that ball and chain

Why do you think that we don't complain?

'Cos we found a way to play through all that pain

You know we're all the same

And rules are just part of the game

...But sometimes rules get broken!

You know we're all the same

...But sometimes rules get broken!
