recorded with The Beez

lyrics

i never wanna have a ball and chain
i hear the story time and time again
they pour you in a bowl
and eat up your soul
and the rest they pour down the drain

i'm never gonna say "i do"
they don't say what you're signing up to
it all starts fun
but once the wedding's done
she wants the sperm from you

then there's the mother-in-law
who can't wait to be grandma
she's shopping for cribs
crocheting bibs
and preaching her blah blah blah

soon there's babies everywhere
crying and puking in your hair
your wife is acting hyper
'cause you cannot change a diaper
and grandma smells like underwear

next you're working like a fool
trying to put the kids through school
but they take your car keys
drive your car through some trees
and park it in a swimming pool

but you keep paying for it all
while grandma moves in down the hall
and you've got no defense
and no help from your friends
you don't even get your one phone call

so that's about it until you die
and if you're wondering why
my song is so long
well, my feelings are strong
it's a message from a happy single guy

and why i never wanna have a ball and chain
i hear the story time and time again
they pour you in a bowl
and eat up your soul
and the rest they pour down the drain
yes the rest they pour down the drain
no you don't even own your own brain
i'd rather move in with the insane
