Lyrics
Prisoner Of Society
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.
Well we don't need no one to tell us what to do
Oh yes we're on our own and there's nothing you can do
So we don't need no one like you
To tell us what to do
We don't refer to the past when we're showing what we've done
Our generation gap means the war is never won
The past is in your head
The future's in our hands
Cos I'm a brat
And I know everything
And I talk back
Cos I'm not listening
To anything you say
And if you count to three (one two three)
You'll see there's no emergency
You'll see I'm not the enemy
Just a prisoner of society
Well we don't need no one to tell us what to do
Oh yes we're on our own and there's nothing you can do
So we don't need no one like you
To tell us what to do
Cos I'm a brat
And I know everything
And I talk back
Cos I'm not listening
To anything you say
And if you count to three (one two three)
You'll see there's no emergency
You'll see I'm not the enemy
Just a prisoner of society (Go!)
Well we don't need no one to tell us what to do
Oh yes we're on our own and there's nothing you can do
So we don't need no one like you
To tell us what to do
We don't refer to the past when we're showing what we've done
Our generation gap means the war is never won
So we don't need no one like you
To tell us what to do
Cos I'm a brat
And I know everything
And I talk back
Cos I'm not listening
To anything you say
And if you count to three
You'll see there's no emergency
You'll see I'm not the enemy
Just a prisoner of society
