(strummer/jones)

The prisoner meets the muppet hi-fi
North of watford junction
We get in but we dont have fun
An we leave before the truncheons
So its back to watch the day to day
Saga of working people
Hanging out the washing and clipping coupons
And generally being decent

Johnny too bad meets johnny be good
In the charing cross road
Thats the only thing that happened today
Says the west end jungle code
And all the germans and all the french
Jam themselves down the tube
And re-enact the second world war
While the rude boys get rude!

And I look to my left
And I look to my right
And Im looking for a man
Im looking for a sign
I dont wanna be the prisoner

The prisoner lives in camden town
Selling revolution
The prisoner loads his tracking arm up
With self-disillusion
Your mother does the washing up
Your old man digs the garden
Youre only free to dodge the cops
An bunk the train to stardom
