Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in this town
See, me and the boys, we don't like it
So we're getting up and going down
[Verse 2]
Hiding low, looking right to left
If you see us coming, I think it's best
To move away, do you hear what I say?
From under my breath
[Chorus]
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in the town
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
So don't you be around
[Chorus]
Don't you be around
[Verse 3]
Tonight there's gonna be trouble
Some of us won't survive
See, the boys and me mean business
Busting out, dead or alive
[Verse 4]
I can hear the hound dogs on my trail
All hell breaks loose, alarm and sirens wail
Like the game, if you lose
Go to jail
[Chorus]
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in the town
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
So don't you be around
Tonight there's gonna be trouble
I'm gonna find myself in
Tonight there's gonna be trouble
So, woman, stay with a friend
[Bridge]
You know it's safer
Breakout!
[Verse 5]
Tonight there's gonna be a breakout
Into the city zones
Don't you dare to try and stop us
No one could for long
[Verse 6]
Searchlight on my trail
Tonight's the night all systems fail
Hey, you, good looking female
Come here
[Chorus]
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in the town
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
So don't you be around
Tonight there's gonna be trouble
I'm gonna find myself in
Tonight there's gonna be trouble
So, woman, stay with a friend
