The Prisoner

"we want information, information, information."
"who are you?"
"the new number two."
"who is number one?"
"you are number six."
"i am not a number, i am a free man."
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA."

i'm on the run, i kill to eat.
i'm starving now, i'm feeling dead on my feet.
going all the way, i'm nature's beast.
do what i want, i'll do as i please.

run, fight, to breathe, it's tough.
now you see me (haha!) now you don't.
break the walls, i'm coming out.

not a prisoner i'm a free man,
& my blood is my own now.
don't care, where the past was,
i know where i'm going...out!

if you kill me, it's self-defence,
if i kill you, then i call it vengeance.
spit in your eye, i will defy,
you'll be afraid when i call out your name.

run, fight, to breathe, it's gonna be tough.
now you see me, now you don't.
break the walls, i'm coming out.

not a prisoner, i'm a free man,
& my blood is my own now.
don't care where the past was,
i know where i'm going.

i'm not a number, i'm a free man,
live my life where i want to.
you'd better scratch me from your black book,
'cause i'll run rings around you.
