Ball and chain

Have you ever gotten your butt whipped
Did you ever go to prison
Have you ever had your pride ripped
Just 'cause no one would listen

I've paid
For something of which i know nothing
They hate me, they hate me
They hate me even more now,
Now that they know i'm right

Ball and chain ball and chain

Here i am, you've got a gun
Pulled the trigger killed someone
Here i lay, you've made me pay
I'm spitting blood, confessions on my lips like a flood

Have you ever felt a pain so great
You run to church but it's to late
The doors are locked
You pray before a window
Crying out to jesus
And you're on the floor
And you they ignore

Ball and chain ball and chain
Who's your ball and chain
What's your ball and chain
Are you as able to cane
Some things do not fane

I am laughing in the rain, these people they think that i'm insane
Ball and chain, ball and chain
