| 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
|
| Save us from the ball and chain
|
| Save us from the ball and chain

| It’s not just bricks and mortar
|

|
| They’ve turned to stone (ahh)
|
| 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
|
| 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
