Prisoner of Society (Triple J live at the Wireless 1998) Songtext
von The Living End

Well, we don′t need no one to tell us what to do
Oh, yes, we're on our own and there′s nothing you can do
So we don't need no one like you (to tell us what to do)

We don't refer to the past when we′re showing what we′ve done
Our generation gap means the war is never won
The past is in your head (the future's in our hands)

′Cause I'm a brat
And I know everything and I talk back
′Cause I'm not listening to anything you say

And if you count to 3 (1, 2, 3)
You′ll see there's no emergency
You'll see I′m not the enemy
Just a prisoner of society

Well, we don′t need no one to tell us what to do
Oh, yes, we're on our own and there′s nothing you can do
So we don't need no one like you (to tell us what to do)

′Cause I'm a brat
And I know everything and I talk back
′Cause I'm not listening to anything you say


And if you count to 3 (1, 2, 3)
You'll see there′s no emergency
You′ll see I'm not the enemy
Just a prisoner of society
Go

Well, we don′t need no one to tell us what to do
Oh, yes, (we're on our own) and there′s nothing you can do
So we don't need no one like you (to tell us what to do)

We don′t refer to the past when we're showing what we've done
Our generation gap means the war is never won
So we don′t need no one like you (to tell us what to do)

′Cause I'm a brat
And I know everything and I talk back
′Cause I'm not listening to anything you say
And if you count to three
You′ll see it's no emergency
You′ll see I'm not the enemy
Just a prisoner of society, society

Society, society
(Society, society)
(Society, society)
