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.
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. (Ahh) 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, The diggers and the tower cranes.
