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 prison, prison
All they´ll build will be prison, prison
All they´ll 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 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
They won´ t build no hospitals
All they´ ll build will be prison, prison
All they´ll build will be prison, prison
All they´ll build will be prison, prison
All they´ll build will be prison, prison"

I am a prisoner (Prisoner)
I am a prisoner (Prisoner)
I am a prisoner (Prisoner)
