Now I'm aimin' for Heaven
But probably wind up down in Hell
Where upon this alter
I will hang my guilt ridden headBut it's time, I'll take before I begin
Three sheets to the wind, three sheets to the wind
Yeah, it's time, I'll take before I begin
Three sheets to the wind, three sheets to the windRebels are we, though heavy our hearts shall always be
Ah, no ball or chain no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the Sacred Heart
I said no ball or chain, no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the Sacred HeartTerrified of the open road
Yeah, where it leads, ya never know
But rest assured he'll be on you back
Yeah, the Holy Ghost through his tongues in blackAs the band dog howls and the young girl cries
The blessed virgin in her proud dad's eye
The Albatross hangin' round your neck
Is the Cross you bear for your sins He bleedsRebels are we, though heavy our hearts shall always be
Ah, no ball or chain, no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the Sacred Heart
I said, no ball or chain, no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the Sacred HeartGenuflect all you refugees who fled the land
Now on guilt you kneel
And say a prayer for those left behind
From beyond the pale to the Northern skySo you saved your shillin's and your last six pence
'Cause in God's name they built a barbed wire fence
Be glad you sailed for a better day
But don't forget there'll be Hell to payRebels are we, though heavy our hearts shall always be
Ah, no ball or chain, no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the Sacred Heart
I said, no ball or chain, no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the Sacred HeartResurrection, no protection, all things life must be
Ah, no ball or chain, no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the Sacred HeartNow bless me Father for I have sinned
But it's the same old story again and again and again
Ah well, such is the bread of an everyday life
From mornin' to noon to this shadowless-night
Ah well, such is the bread of an everyday life
From mornin' to noon to this shadowless-nightRebels are we, though heavy our hearts shall always be
Ah, no ball or chain, no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the Sacred Heart
I said, no ball or chain, no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the Sacred HeartRebels are we, though heavy our hearts shall always be
Ah, no ball or chain, no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the Sacred Heart
I said, no ball or chain, no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the Sacred Heart
I said, no ball or chain, no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the Sacred Heart
