Lucky Dube - Prisoner Lyrics



Lucky Dube - 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, yeah
As a little boy I thought I knew
What I was doing, yeah man
But today here I am in jail

[Chorus:]
I' m a prisoner [x3]

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 [x3]
'Cause today, yeah

[Chorus:]
I am a prisoner [x3]
Dear lord

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 [x2]
All they' ll build will be prison, prison [x4]

[Chorus: till fade]
I am a prisoner [x3]
