lyrics

Get busy living or get busy dying
Your only choices here
Get busy laughing or get busy crying
I think your choice is clear

Playing opera in the prison yard
Doing taxes for the prison guards
Old men institutionalized
No such thing as easy time

They see you're bookish and they try to exploit you
That was their first mistake
Ten years of planning and their cruelty conspired
To fuel your prison break

Playing opera in the prison yard
Doing taxes for the prison guards
Old men institutionalized
No such thing as easy time

Don't you know we're all innocent here?
