"The Prisoner" lyrics

"The Prisoner"

Break down the four walls forever
Time's up, set me free
I'll do what I want to whenever
Pissin' off the powers that be
Led a life of death and destruction
Bet you'd like to see me die
A big bang without interruption
Bloodlust is satisfied

So, what's the meaning of life?
And what do you suggest
That I do with mine? I'd like to get
The whole world off of my chest
What's that look in your eyes?
I can tell when things ain't straight
Another voice inside me dies
Replaced with another fueled by hate

And I hate all your lies
Look me straight in my eyes
I've done my time

Melt away the bars from this cell
It kinda makes you hard and cold
Life sucks in this private hell
It's not a place for you to grow old
This is just a taste of tomorrow
With the same ol' shit each day
Gotta lie, cheat, steal, or borrow
It's the good old-fashioned way

So, what the fuck do you want?
What the fuck do you need?
An invitation to hell on earth
Has been sent to you with a VIP
But like a dog on a leash
Restrained from a vicious attack
I'll try to fuck you twice as hard
As you plunge a grudge knife in my back

And I hate all your lies
Look me straight in my eyes
I've done my time

So, what's the meaning of life?
And what do you suggest
That I do with mine? I'd like to get
The whole world off of my chest
What's that look in your eyes?
I can tell when things ain't straight
Another voice inside me dies
Replaced with another fueled by hate

And I hate all your lies
Look me straight in my eyes
I've done my time
