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 (Prisoner)

I am a prisoner (Prisoner)

I am a prisoner (Prisoner)

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 prisons, prisons

They won't build no schools anymore

All they'll build will be prisons, prisons

They won't build no schools anymore

All they'll build will be prisons, prisons

‘Cause today, yeah

I am a prisoner (Prisoner)

I am a prisoner (Prisoner)

I'm a Prisoner (Prisoner)

Dear Lord

I asked the policeman and said

How much must I pay for my freedom?

He said to me, son, yeah

They won't build no schools anymore

They won't build no hospital
