The prison band was there and they began to wail

Was dancing to the Jailhouse Rock

You know what's going on
And it seems to me we've not cared enough

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
