Coming over mountains   the pale beside the wall between us now   since I refuse to play alone   it's always been another   to do the damage you live everyday   and leave you cursing for escape   Each day I see a ball and chain   grow a little more in grain   and watch your corner pain   say'in nothing   nothing's gonna change   why is the world so damn unkind   to one so righteous in her mind   the sun won't rise and shine   will you never find your peace of mind   My father couldn't bother   to play the kind of role the job required   instead of trying he retired   what so much here to conquer   to feel a long while so-called friends don't phone   you know the pain is not their own   Each day I see a ball and chain   grow a little more in grain   and watch your corner pain   say'in nothing   nothing's gonna change   why is the world so damn unkind   to one so righteous in her mind   the sun won't rise and shine   will you never find your peace of mind   Coming over mountains   to feel the tension hiding in these walls   you see a trace of spirit fall   my father couldn't bother   but now he's back to find his place again   sorry but the book's been burned   Each day I see a ball and chain   grow a little more in grain   and watch your corner pain   say'in nothing   nothing's gonna change   why is the world so damn unkind   to one so righteous in her mind   the sun won't rise and shine   will you never find your peace of mind   your peace of mind   your peace of mind
