The warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there and they began to wail

Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the Jailhouse Rock

You don't need me to tell you what's gone wrong
You know what's going on
And it seems to me we've not cared enough
Or confided in each other at all
It seems like we've all got our backs against the wall

Time waits for no one
We've got to trust one another
Or we'd have no more future at all

Falling in love Mind vs. Heart

In her own good land here she's been abused
She's been burned, dishonored, denied an' refused
And the government for which she stands
Has scandalized throughout the land
And she's getting thread bare, and she's wearin' thin
But she's in good shape, for the shape she's in
Cause she's been through the fire before
And I believe she can take a whole lot more
