Jailbreak by Yothu Yindi Lyrics

There was a friend of
Mine on murder
And the judges gavel fell
Jury found found him guilty
Gave 'em sixteen years in hell
He said: I ain't
Spendin' my life here
I ain't livin' alone
Ain't breakin' the
Rocks on the chain
Gang
I'm breakin' out
And headin' home

I'm gonna make a jailbreak
And I'm lookin'
Towards the sky!
I'm gonna make a jailbreak
Ah, how I wish that
I could fly!
All in the name of Liberty!
All in the name of Liberty!
Got to be free!

Jailbreak!
Let me outta here!
Jailbreak!
Sixteen years, oh!
Jailbreak!
Had more than i can take!
Jailbreak!

Yeah...

He said he'd seen
His lady bein'
Fooled with
By another man
She was down and he was up
Had a gun in his hand
Uh, bullets started
Flyin' every where
And people started to scream!
Big man lyin' on the ground
With a hole in his
Body where his life
Had been!
But, it was all in the
Name of Liberty!
All in the name of Liberty!
I got to be free!

Jailbreak!
Jailbreak!
I got to break out!
Out of here...

Heartbeats!
They were racin'...
Freedom!
He was chasin'...
Spotlights!
Sirens!
Rifles - firin'!
But he made it out...
With a bullet in his back!

Jailbreak!
Jailbreak!
Jailbreak!
Jailbreak!
Jailbreak!
Jailbreak!
Jailbreak!
Jailbreak!
Jailbreak!
Jailbreak
