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
