Lyrics for The Prisoner

We want information, information, information Who are you? The new number two Who is number one? You are number six I am not a number, I am a free man! I'm on the run, I'll kill to eat I'm starving now, feelin' dead on my feet Goin' all the way, I'm nature's beast Do what I want, and do as I please Run, fight to breathe, it's tough Now you see me, now you don't Break the walls, I'm comin' 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 defense But if I kill you then I call it vengeance Spit in your eye, I will defy You'll be afraid of when I call out your name Run, fight to breathe, it's gonna be tough Now you see me and now you don't Break the walls, I'm comin' 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 I'm not a number, I'm a free man Live my life where I want to You'd better scratch me from your black book 'Cos I'll run rings around you 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 I'm not a number, I'm a free man Live my life where I want to You'd better scratch me from your black book 'Cos I'll run rings around you 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
