Story Behind The Song
Our existence is constrained - by feelings like dread, states like wretchedness, pain - und so Weiter.
Not much else to say - Ball And Chain.

Ball and Chain
----------------
The ball is made of stone and metal,
Stone and metal,
Stone and metal and a grip from hell,
A grip from hell, and the Word of God, ...
The ball ties back, to the point of it all,
The point of it all,
The origin point, (it) is the one of no return
I wish you well you poor old sod, ...
Same ol' hurdles same ol' burden
Ball n' chain
Ball n' chain
A lot unknown and nothin' is certain
Ball n' chain
Ball n' chain
I'm just sayin' it's not gonna change
Ball 'n chain
Ball 'n chain
At the most you can rattle it, isn't it strange?
Ball n' chain
Ball 'n chain
Within my bounds I've been luggin' it around,
Luggin' it around, ..
In tandem with Sisyphus,
Doin' it cos' , because I was, ...
Because I was born with a ball n' chain,
Born in pain
I'll live in pain and die in pain
Left in my wake is the Ball n' chain ...
Locked in Time and held in Space
Ball n' chain
Ball 'n chain
Buckle up and suck it up and count your days
Ball n' chain
Ball 'n chain
Any which way you're cuttin' it close
Ball n' chain
Ball 'n chain
What your score is, no one knows
Ball n' chain
Ball 'n chain
Ferrule around my ankle, for it there ain't no painkiller ,
Jus' some day my ink 'll dry, bet on the pig you think ' ll fly,
The rule of thumb is tow the line, it'll all turn out to be just fine .
You got yours and I got mine
Ball n' chain
Ball n' chain
The anchor drops at the hour of dyin'
Ball n' chain
Ball n' chain
Same ol' dread an' th' same ol' pain
Ball n' chain
Ball 'n chain
You're gonna have to drag it, day out day in
Ball n' chain
Ball 'n chain
