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'd ever get free

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

You got away clean

But it didn't come free

Another man paid

With His on agony for freedom

Freedom

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

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

Whoa...

Whoa...

You broke the chains away

Oh, oh, oh, oh...
