Bang my head into the bars
I'm my own prison guard
And when I think there's no escape
I find the tunnel out this place

Once I'm free like a bird, it's over
Once my back no longer hurts, it's over
Once I'm resting in the dirt, it's over
So today I'll make it work
Let the tears stream down my face
Once again I lost the race
And I don't care for second place
Next time I'll bring my ace of spades

Once I'm free like a bird, it's over
Once my back no longer hurts, it's over
Once I'm resting in the dirt, it's over
So today I'll make it work
Once I'm free like a bird, it's over
Once my back no longer hurts, it's over
Once I'm resting in the dirt, it's over
So today I'll make it work
