- Ball & Chain Lyrics / with translationsSave 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
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
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
