Rebels Of The Sacred Heart

Now I'm aimin' for Heaven

But probably wind up down in Hell

Where upon this alter

I will hang my guilt ridden head

But 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 wind

Rebels 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

Terrified 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 black

As 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 bleeds

Rebels 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

Genuflect 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 sky

So 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 pay

Rebels 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

Resurrection, no protection, all things life must be

Ah, no ball or chain, no prison shall keep

We're the rebels of the Sacred Heart

Now 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-night

Rebels 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

Rebels 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
