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
             As a little boy I thought I knew what I was doing
                      But today here I am in jail

                            Chorus:
                        I am 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 build will be prison, prison
                 They won't build no schools anymore
                  All they build will be prison, prison
                 They won't build no schools anymore
                  All they build will be prison, prison
                        'Cause today yeah

                            Chorus:
                        I am a prisoner (x3)

                    I asked the policeman he 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 build will be prison, prison
                  All they build will be prison, prison
                  All they build will be prison, prison
                      All they build will be......
