Notices: "The Prisoner" is based on the 1960's British TV series
of the same name, starring Patrick McGoohan. This
series has become kind of a cult and you can buy the
whole set on video. In the series, a British secret agent
quits the secret service and is gassed as soon as he
gets home. He wakes up in a place called "The
Village" where people have their names replaced by
numbers. He is number Six and the numbers get
smaller as you go up the hierarchy. Number One runs
the place

Lyric

"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!!!
HAHAHAHAHA"

I'm on the run, I'll kill to eat,
Starving now, feeling dead on my feet.
Going all the way, I'm nature's beast.
Do what i want, I do as i please.

Run, you've gotta fight, to breathe, it's tough.
Now you see me, now you don't.
Break the walls, I'm coming out.

I'm 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.

Run, you've gotta fight, to breathe, it's tough.
Now you see me, now you don't.
Break the walls, I'm coming out.

I'm 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,
I'll live my life how i want to.
You'd better scratch me
from your black book,
'Cause I'll run rings around you.
