VIRGIL 
I've got a wife, four grown children 
I can't afford their education 
I been a prison guard for fourteen years 
That ain't exactly a vacation 

WARDEN 
Since he's been here he's followed every rule 
Well I told you my position 
The law says he's got the right to go to school, 
We abide by the court's decision 

VIRGIL 
I got a Winchester 243 
I like that gun for deer 
Upstate November when the air is free 
Smells like hunting season's here 

He's the one to keep your eyes on 
He's smart yeah and he's quiet 
A troublemaker if I ever seen one 
Next thing you know it's Attica 
And we got a prison riot 

There ain't no way that punk gets his degree 
And hides behind the Constitution 
No way in hell that smart ass spic goes free 
Not while I'm in this institution
