"The Prisoner" lyrics

Well, you're the prisoner locked in your cell
You're living in your personal hell
Invisible bars, they block your view
They don't exist except for you

Free, why can't you see how easily
You could break those bars right down, new freedom found, travel around
And find out exactly why, give it a try, living the lie
And try to solve the final clue, see if it's true, found out just who
The real enemy is you
Don't be afraid, don't be deceived
A new world for you can be conceived

Don't tell me 'bout how the world isn't fair
How you'll live your life how you choose
I don't want to hear another excuse
How it ain't your fault when you lose
And you're the prisoner
Your mind's diseased, my mind is cured

I was the prisoner but never again
My worst enemy is now my friend
Brainwashed, you'll probably believe
I gave it up for a new reprieve

Free, why can't you see how easily
You could break those bars right down, new freedom found, travel around
And find out exactly why, give it a try, living the lie
And try to solve the final clue, see if it's true, found out just who
The real enemy is you
Don't be afraid, don't be deceived
A new world for you can be deceived

Don't tell me 'bout how the world isn't fair
How you'll live your life how you choose
I don't want to hear another excuse
How it ain't your fault when you lose

You say you're political
I say, "Screw that. You're just a fool."
