Sandy Pearlman - The Prisoner 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)
