I'm Not In Prison
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Walk around the world
Feel the destruction
I read all about it
I know all the headlines
And I say to myself, "What a lucky man!
Glad I'm alive, I can go where I can"
Chorus:
I'm not in prison
I'm not in prison
I'm not in prison
No, I'm not in prison
Walked around in the world
What I see there?
I see all the trash lying there in the field now
And I say to myself, "What a lucky man!
Glad I'm alive, I can go where I can"
(Chorus)
And I say to myself, "What a lucky man!
Glad I'm alive, I can go where I can"
(Chorus) *2
