"Ball And Chain" lyrics

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?
'Cause we found a way to play through all that pain

Strap your shoes and pay your dues
'Cause 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?
'Cause 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?
'Cause 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!

Why do you think that we don't complain?
'Cause 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?
'Cause 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
