Lyrics

1,2,3,4 1,2,3
The prisoner meets the muppet hi-fi
North of Watford Junction
We get in but we don't have fun
And we leave before the truncheons
So it's back to watch the day to day
Saga of workin' people
Hangin' out the washin', clippin' coupons
And generally bein' decent
Johnny Too Bad meets Johnny B Goode
In the Charing Cross road
The only thing that happened today
Says the West End jungle code
And all the Germans and all the French
Jam themselves down the tube
And re-enact the Second World War
While the rude boys get rude
And I look to my left
And I look to my right
And I'm looking for a man
I'm lookin' for a sign
I don't wanna be the prisoner
I don't wanna be the prisoner
I don't wanna be the prisoner
I don't wanna be the prisoner
The prisoner lives in Camden Town
Sellin' revolution
The prisoner loads his trackin' arm up
A'with self-disillusion
Your mother does the washin' up
Your old man digs the garden
You're only free to dodge the cops
An' bunk the train to stardom
(Climb)
(Chorus)
Written by: Joe Strummer, Mick Jones, Paul Simonon, Topper Headon
