You used to play their games
You used to stay the same
They used to hold you back
They knew the best attackThey 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 fenceDefector, 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
DefectorThey used to drag you down
They used to have you bound
Just like a ball and chain
But they could not restrainThey 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 freeDefector, 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
DefectorYou got away clean but it don't come free
Another Man paid with His on agony for
Freedom, freedomThey 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 fenceDefector, 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, oh, ohYou broke the chains away
Oh, oh, oh, oh
