- Jailbreak Lyrics / with translations(By Bon Scott, Malcolm Young & Angus Young)
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 roc
ks 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
Just set me free
Jailbreak, let me out of here
Jailbreak, sixteen years,
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
He 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.
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 roc
ks 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
Just set me free
Jailbreak, let me out of here
Jailbreak, sixteen years,
Jailbreak, had more than I can take
He said he'd seen his lady being fooled with
by another man.
She was down and he was up
He 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.
