The Living End › Lyrics › 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 nothin' 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 showin' 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

'Cos I'm a brat and I know everythin'
And I talk back 'cos I'm not listenin'
To anything you say

And if you count to 3
You'll see it'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 nothin' you can do
So we don't need no one like you, so tell us what to do

'Cos I'm a brat and I know everythin'
And I talk back 'cos I'm not listenin'
To anything you say

And if you count to 3
You'll see it'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 nothin' you can do
So we don't need no one like you, so tell us what to do

We don't refer to the past when showin' what we've done
Our generation gap means the war is never won
So we don't need no one like you, so tell us what to do

'Cos I'm a brat and I know everythin'
And I talk back 'cos I'm not listenin'
To anything you say

And if you count to 3
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
