ball and chain ball and chain
have you ever gotten your butt whipped
did you ever go to prison
have you ever had your pride ripped
just `cause no one would listen
I`ve paid
for something of which I know nothing
they hate me, they hate me
they hate me even more now,
now that they know I`m right
ball and chain ball and chain
here I am, you`ve got a gun
pulled the trigger killed someone
here I lay, you`ve made me pay
I`m spitting blood, confessions on my lips like a flood
have you ever felt a pain so great
you run to church but it`s to late
the doors are locked
you pray before a window
crying out to Jesus
and you`re on the floor
and you they ignore
ball and chain ball and chain
who`s your ball and chain
what`s your ball and chain
are you as able to cane
some things do not fane
I am laughing in the rain, these people they think that I`m insane
ball and chain, ball and chain
