Sublime — Ball And Chain Demo

[Verse 1] People, listen up, don't stand too near I've got something that you all should hear All lies, all the lies they told to me Form a little part of history I was always taught that boy meets girl Fall in love, get married and forget the world Nine months later, a sweet baby's on the way Kiss him on the cheek, and life's okay [Pre-Chorus] I don't feel no pain I don't have no time To listen to conflicting points of view [Chorus] It's a crazy world to live alone A ball and chain I call my own Ba-na-na-na-na [Verse 2] People, listen up, don't stand too close I've got something that you all should know Holy Matrimony's not for me Rather die alone in misery 'Cause I was always taught that boy meets girl Fall in love, get married and forget the world Nine months later, a sweet baby's on the way Isn't that what they used to say? [Pre-Chorus] When the girl you knew And the bonds that we grew Turned into a ball and chain [Chorus] I step into the great unknown On a ball and chain I call my own Ba-na-na-na-na A crazy world to live alone [Pre-Chorus] When a girl you knew And the bonds that we grew Turned into a ball and chain [Chorus] I step into the great unknown On a ball and chain I call my own [Verse 3] [Because marriage doesn't work in the world today It's an institution that is 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 Fall in love, get married and forget the world Nine months later, the sweet baby's on the way Kiss him on the cheek and life's okay [Pre-Chorus] I don't feel no pain I don't have no time To listen to conflicting points of view [Chorus] I step into the great unknown On a ball and chain I call my own Ba-na-na-na-na
