You used to play their games You used to stay the same They used to hold you back They knew the best attack They thought they had a better hold on you They thought that you would always stay true blue They couldn't stop you - they had no defense You went under the wire - you went over the fence Defector - you broke the chains away Defector - a higher power you obey Now they have no hold on you - you've broken through But don't forget to read the signs 'cause You still live behind - enemy lines Defector They used to drag you down They used to have you bound
Just like a ball and chain But they could not restrain They thought that you could never break away They thought that you would always go their way They had you tied up habitually They never figured you could ever get free You got away clean but it don't come free Another man paid with His on agony for... Freedom Freedom They thought they had a better hold on you They thought that you would always stay true blue They couldn't stop you - they had no defense You went under the wire - you went over the fence (CHORUS)
