The Clash - The Prisoner Lyrics

The prisoner meet the "Muppet Hi-Fi" 
North of Watford junction 
We get in but we don't have fun 
An' we live before the truncheons 
So it's back to watch the day to day 
Saga of working people 
Hanging out the washing and clipping coupons 
And generally being decent. 

"Johnny-too-bad" meets "Johnny-be-good" 
In the Charing Cross road 
That's the only thing that happened today 
Says the West End jungle code 
And all the germans and all the french 
Jam themselves down the tube 
And re-enact the second world war 
While the rude boys get rude! 

And I look to my left 
And I look to my right 
And I'm looking for a man 
I'm looking for a sign 
I don't wanna be the prisoner 
I don't wanna be the prisoner 

The prisoner lives in Camden Town 
Selling revolution 
The prisoner loads his tracking arm up 
Whit self-disillusion 
Your mother does the washing up 
The old man digs the garden 
An' you're only free to dodge the cops 
An' bunk the train to stardom 

And I look to my left 
And I look to my right 
And I'm looking for a man 
I'm looking for a sign 
I don't wanna be the prisoner 
I don't wanna be the prisoner...
