[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
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
