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?
