Prisoner Lyrics

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"
As a little boy I thought
I knew what I was doing
But today here I am in jail

I am 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 build will be prison, prison
They won't build no schools anymore
All they build will be prison, prison
They won't build no schools anymore
All they build will be prison, prison
'Cause today, yeah.

I am a prisoner (prisoner.)
I am a prisoner (prisoner.)
I am a prisoner (prisoner.)

(.)

I asked the policeman, he 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
They won't build no schools anymore
They won't build no hospitals
All they build will be prison, prison
All they build will be prison, prison
All they build will be prison, prison
All they build will be.

I am a prisoner (prisoner.)
I am a prisoner (prisoner.)
I am a prisoner (prisoner.)
