Michael Martin Murphey - Prometheus Busted lyrics

Prometheus was a good friend of Zeus But he stole that heavenly fire He gave it away to the people they say People were his heart's desire He couldn't be trusted So Zeus had him busted Bound him to a rock with a chain Lord Zeus has his ways He can drive a man crazy By leaving him out in the rain Prometheus got busted But his chains are getting rusty Zeus, won't you turn him loose Free spirits got to be free (Turn him loose won't you turn him loose, Zeus) Trial was unjust Nothing discussed Malice of forethought the crime People condemned him Supernatural women Said he was wastin' his time Down on the earth for what it was worth Preachers prayed for his soul But in the end most of his friends Just left him out in the cold.
