Rebels of the sacred heart

Rebels of the sacred heart Lyrics

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 
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 bare 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 

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 shillins 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 
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
