The Prisoner

On the run kill to eat
You're starving now you're dead on your feet
Going all the way nature's beast
Do what I want as I please
Run fight to breathe it's tough
Now you see me now you don't
Break the walls
I'm coming out
Not a prisoner
I'm a free man
And 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
I'm not a number
I'm a free man
I'll live my life how
I want to
You'd better scratch me from your black book
Cos I'll run rings round you
