The Prisoner

And I'm looking for a man
I'm looking for a sign
The only thing that happened today
And re-enact the second world war
And I look to my right
Your old man digs the garden
An' bunk the train to stardom
Says the west end jungle code
I don't wanna be the prisoner
With self-disillusion
I don't wanna be the, the prisoner
So it's back to watch the day to day
We get in but we don't have fun
Johnny too bad meets Johnny be good
Saga of working people
I don't wanna be the prisoner
Selling revolution
I don't wanna be the prisoner

Your mother does the washing up
And I look to my right
An' we leave before the truncheons
In the charing cross road
And I look to my left
Jam themselves down the tube

Hanging out the washing and clipping coupons
And I look to my left
While the rude boys get rude

And all the Germans and all the French
I'm looking for a sign
I don't wanna be the prisoner
You're only free to dodge the cops
The prisoner loads his tracking arm up
I don't wanna be the prisoner
And I'm looking for a man
The prisoner lives in Camden town
And generally being decent
I don't wanna be the prisoner
