Ball & Chain
Where are you, please don't ask me
Can't you see I must be going
The answer is so easy
Your freedom, it means nothing
There is no escape from here
But don't worry, you'll think of something
Tomorrow, I am quite near
So close you can reach out and touch me
I'm your ball & chain, the price to play the game
But you still ask for more, you got what you paid for
If you'd like to stay and live another day
Why don't you sell your brain and buy a ball & chain
When will you be done laughing
And tell me what is so funny
The problem is still growing
How can you only think about money
Can't you see I must be going
The answer is so easy
Your freedom, it means nothing
There is no escape from here
But don't worry, you'll think of something
Tomorrow, I am quite near
So close you can reach out and touch me
I'm your ball & chain, the price to play the game
But you still ask for more, you got what you paid for
If you'd like to stay and live another day
Why don't you sell your brain and buy a ball & chain
When will you be done laughing
And tell me what is so funny
The problem is still growing
How can you only think about money
