Ball And Chain lyrics

Save us from the ball and chain

Save us from the ball and chain

Save us from the ball and chain

The diggers and the towering cranes

The diggers and the towering cranes

Don't want demolition

Don't want your compensation

It's not just bricks and mortar

We are lambs to slaughter

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

They're crushing all the memories of people

Who have since turned to stone

Who turned to stone

They turned to stone

Save us from the ball and chain

Save us from the ball and chain

Save us from the ball and chain

The diggers and the towering cranes

The diggers and the towering cranes
