    Lyrics

    Prisoner - Lucky Dube

    ...

    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 

    I'm a 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

    I am a prisoner

    I am a prisoner

    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 

    They won't build no schools anymore

    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


    [Chorus: till fade]

    I am a prisoner

    I am a prisoner

    I am a prisoner
