Prisoner |
| Somebody told me about it |
| When I was still a little boy |
| He said to me, crime does not pay |
| He said to me, education is the key, yeah |
| As a little boy I thought I knew |
| What I was doing, yeah man |
| But today here I am in jail |
| I' m a prisoner (x3) |
| I looked all around me |
| But to see nothing |
| But four grey walls staring at me |
| The policeman said to me, son |
| They won' t build no schools anymore |
| All they' ll build will be prison, prison (x3) |
| 'cos today, yeah |
| I am a prisoner (x2) I' m a prisoner |
| Dear lord |
| I asked the policeman and said |
| How much must I pay for my freedom? |
| He said to me, son |
| They won' t build no schools anymore |
| They won' t build no hospitals (x2) |
| All they' ll build will be prison, prison (x4) |
| Chorus till fade |
