5446 (Ball and Chain)
Sublime

Do you believe I would take such a thing with me

And give it to a police man?

I wouldn't do that, I wouldn't do that


If I did that would you say

Sir come down and put the charge on me?”

I wouldn't do that, no, I wouldn't do that


I'm not a fool to hurt myself

But I was innocent to what they done to me

They were wrong, they were wrong


Give it to me, one time

Give it to me, two times

Give it to me, three times

Give it to me, four times


5446, what's my number? What's my number, now?

Right now, somebody else has that number

One more time, 5447, what's my number? What's my number, now?

Right now, somebody else has that number


[Incomprehensible]


'Cuz we're chillin' and we're chillin' in the club all night

We're chillin' and we're chillin' in the club all night

Hear the dub, hear the beat in the dog pound

DJ Lord, have his grilled cheese


Some jealous punk

Snuck up, around my back

Tried to take a lovin' over me


Lord, I got into a fist fight

And wound up in jail all night


Give it to me, one time

(Yes, my pussy)

Give it to me, two times

Give it to me, three times

Give it to me, four times


People, listen up

Don't stand too near I've got somethin'

That you all should hear all lies

All the lies they told to me

Form a little part of history


I was always taught that boy meets girl

Fall in love, get married and forget the world

Nine months later, sweet baby's on the way


Kiss 'em on the cheek and life's okay


I don't feel no pain

I don't have no time

To listen to conflicting points of view


It's a crazy world to live alone

A ball and chain, I call my own


People, listen up, don't stand too close

I've got somethin' that you all should know

Holy matrimony is not for me

Rather die alone in misery


'Cuz I was always taught that boy meets girl

Fall in love, get married and forget the world

Nine months later, sweet baby's on the way

Isn't that what they used to say?


With a girl you knew

And the bonds that we grew

Turned into a ball and chain

I step into the great unknown

And a ball and chain, I call my home


With a girl that you knew

And the bonds that we grew

Turned into a ball and chain

I step into the great unknown

A ball and chain, I call my own


Because marriage doesn't work in the world today

It's an institution that is in decay

And if I have love I wish to portray

I will surely find another way


Because I was always taught that boy meets girl

Fall in love, get married and forget the world

Nine months later, the sweet baby's on the way

Kiss him on the cheek and life's okay


I don't feel no pain

I don't have no time

To listen to conflicting points of view


I step into the great unknown

And a ball and chain, I call my own
