When I take the prisoners swimming
A              G             Bm
They have the time of their lives
A           G            Bm
I love to watch them floating
 
 
On their backs
Unburdened and relaxed
 
 
I sit in the tall grass and look the other way
And when I haul them in they always sing
Our sentences will not served
 
 
We are constantly on trial
It's a way to be free
 
 
Most nights I go for a drive
To to the highest place I can find
Stand there on a cliff with gooseflesh
Watching the wind rip the leaves from the trees
 
 
Death defying
Every breath
Death defying
 
 
Soon we'll all be back in the yard
Behind the wall
Living hard
Dreaming of cool rivers and tall grass
 
 
We are constantly on trial
It's a way to be free
 
 
We are constantly on trial
It's a way to be free
