Virgil Lyrics - Paul Simon

VIRGIL 

I've got a wife and 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 

And I've 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 you got to keep your eyes on 

He's smart, yep, and sneaky quiet 

A troublemaker if I've ever seen one 

Next thing it's Attica 

And we got a riot 

Photos 

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
