The Prisoner (Live) lyrics
by Bruce Dickinson
[Verse 1]
I'm on the run, I'll kill to eat
I'm 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
[Pre-Chorus]
Run, I'm gonna fight you, to breathe, it's gotta be tough
Now you see me, now you don't
Break the walls, I'm coming out
[Chorus 1]
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 there
[Verse 2]
If you kill me, it's self-defense
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Run, I'm gonna fight you, to breathe, it's gotta be tough
Now you see me, now you don't
Break the walls, I'm coming out
[Chorus 1]
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
[Chorus 2]
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
'Cause I'll run rings around you
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus 1]
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
[Chorus 2]
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
'Cause I'll run rings around you
