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 tounges in black
  As th 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
    Reserrection 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
