Ball & Chain

Save us from the ball and chain Save us from the ball and chain Save us from the ball and chain, oh yeah The diggers and the tower cranes The diggers and the tower cranes Don't want demolition Don't want your compensation It's not just bricks and mortar We are lambs to slaughter Save us from the ball and chain Save us from the ball and chain Save us from the ball and chain, oh yeah The diggers and the tower cranes The diggers and the tower cranes Must we live in fear From those who shed no tears? Our one and only shelter Your games, your helter skelter Motorways and office blocks They're standing on the spot where stood a home Crushing on the memories of people Who have since turned to stone, ah They've turned to stone, ah, they've turned to stone Save us from the ball and chain Save us from the ball and chain Save us from the ball and chain, oh yeah The diggers and the tower cranes The diggers and the tower cranes
