Lyric Virgil
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
