Текст песни: The Prisoner (The Number Of The Beast 1982; Digital Remaster 1998)

[Spoken]
We want information, information, information
Who are you?
The new number 2
Who is number 1?
You are number 6
I am not a number, I am a free man!
[Laughter]

[Instrumental Break 0:26-1:29]

[Verse 1]
I'm on the run, I 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

[Pre-Chorus]
Run, fight to breathe, it's tough
Now you see me, now you don't
Break the walls, I'm comin' out

[Chorus]
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!
[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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
'Cos I'll run rings around you
[Instrumental Break 3:43-4:54]

[Chorus]
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
'Cos I'll run rings around you

[Chorus]
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
