Plot
The death penalty has been abolished and the punishment for murder, however slight, is life in prison. These two factors lead to a problem: prison over-population. A solution is needed... Prisoners in groups of nine are taken to an off-shore facility and locked in a room. There, supervised by an enigmatic Director and his brutish Assistant, the nine are forced to participate in a game that will reward the last one standing with a full government pardon. The stakes are high and the reward great. But does the end justify the means? Only one will find out.

I was jiving along in my big cadillac
Saw a thumb going up, I said Driver go back
Played her a track from my latest LP
Getting bad vibes she hadn't recognized me
She said she didn't know me but my name's been in lights
Giant size neons on the strip every night
The camera man did the best that he can
Still she said I don't know you I just can't understand
I'm a star, yeah
I'm a star (Baby bathe in my glow)
I'm a star, anyway
I was trying to be nice but I'm not into that
I usually make it without any chat
She was taking it easy, taking it slow
I said Come on baby, I'm ready to go
I'm a star, yeah
I'm a star (Baby bathe in my glow)
I'm a star, anyway
She said Drop me off here and to my surprise
You wouldn't believe it, it was Beverly Drive
Some sort of commotion, what's happening here
We've arrived at her premiere, I shouldn't be here
She's a star, yeah
She's a star, I didn't know it

Give me the beat boys
Give me the beat boys
Day after day I'm more confused
But I look for the light through the pouring rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
I'm feeling the strain
Ain't it a shame
(Chorus)
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in the rock and roll
And drift away
I'm beginning to think that I'm wasting my time
And I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
Now it's up to you
To carry me through
(to Chorus)
And when my mind is free
You know the melody can move me
And when I'm feeling blue
The guitar's coming through to soothe me
Thanks for the joy you've given me
I want you to know that I believe in the song
You help me along
You're making me strong
Give me the beat boys
Give me the beat boys
