Suicidal Tendencies
The Prisoner

[Verse 1]
Well, you're the prisoner locked in your cell
You're living in your personal hell
Invisible bars, they block your view
They don't exist except for you

[Pre-Chorus]
Free, why can't you see how easily
You could break those bars right down, new freedom found, travel around
And find out exactly why, give it a try, living the lie
And try to solve the final clue, see if it's true, found out just who
The real enemy is you
Don't be afraid, don't be deceived
A new world for you can be conceived

[Chorus]
Don't tell me 'bout how the world isn't fair
How you'll live your life how you choose
I don't want to hear another excuse
How it ain't your fault when you lose
And you're the prisoner
Your mind's diseased, my mind is cured

[Verse 2]
I was the prisoner but never again
My worst enemy is now my friend
Brainwashed, you'll probably believe
I gave it up for a new reprieve
[Pre-Chorus]
Free, why can't you see how easily
You could break those bars right down, new freedom found, travel around
And find out exactly why, give it a try, living the lie
And try to solve the final clue, see if it's true, found out just who
The real enemy is you
Don't be afraid, don't be decieved
A new world for you can be deceived

[Chorus]
Don't tell me 'bout how the world isn't fair
How you'll live your life how you choose
I don't want to hear another excuse
How it ain't your fault when you lose

[Outro]
You say you're political
I say, "Screw that, you're just a fool."
