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 know 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 (x2) I' m 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 (x2) All they' ll build will be prison, prison (x4) Chorus till fade
