1. IT'S A LON WAY TO THE TOP (IF YOU WANNA ROCK'N ROLL)

Ridin' down the highway, goin' to a show
Stop in all the by-ways, playin' rock 'n' roll
Gettin' robbed, gettin' stoned
Gettin' beat up, broken boned
Gettin' had, gettin' took
I tell you folks, it's harder than it looks.

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
If you think it's easy doin' one night stands
Try playin' in a rock roll band
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll.

Hotel motel, make you wanna cry
Lady do the hard sell, know the reason why
Gettin' old, gettin' grey
Gettin' ripped off, underpaid
Gettin' sold, second hand
That's how it goes, playin' in a band.

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
If you wanna be a star of stage and screen
Look out it's rough and mean
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll.

It's a long way
It's a long way, you should have told me
It's a long way
It's a long way.


2. JAILBREAK

There was a friend of mine on murder
And the judge's gavel fell
Jury found him guilty
Gave him sixteen years in hell
He said "I ain't spending my life here
I ain't living alone
Ain't breaking no rocks on the chain gang
I'm breakin' out and headin' home.

Gonna make a jailbreak
And I'm lookin' towards the sky
I'm gonna make a jailbreak
Oh, how I wish that I could fly.

All in the name of liberty
All in the name of liberty
Got to be free.

Jailbreak, let me out of here
Jailbreak, sixteen years ah
Jailbreak, had more than I can take
Jailbreak, yeah.

He said he'd seen his lady being fooled with
By another man
She was down and he was up
Had a gun in his hand
Bullets started flying everywhere
And people started to scream
Big man lying on the ground
With a hole in his body
Where his life had been.

But it was all in the name of liberty
All in the name of liberty
I got to be free.

Jailbreak, jailbreak
I got to break out
Out of here.

Heartbeats, they were racin'
Freedom, he was chasin'
Spotlights, sirens, rifles firing
But he made it out
With a bullet in his back.

Jailbreak, jailbreak
Jailbreak, jailbreak
Jailbreak, jailbreak
Jailbreak, jailbreak
Jailbreak, jailbreak
