THE PRISONER - (ONE BIG JOKE - track 1)
Words and music - Pete Morton

I've been the prisoner of money I've been the prisoner of the earth
been the prisoner of the trial since the time of my birth
been the prisoner of mirrors my own dreams and thoughts
Now all I want to do is be stuck here with you
where your love is so warm
I've been chained up by opinion and who they say I am
with my distrust of others and my love for my mother
I'm chained up by changes that bring me no cure
So all I want to do Is be stuck here with you
where your love is so warm
I've been the prisoner of the merchants been a prisoner of social grace
been a prisoner of survival in the race for my space
been a prisoner of learning been a prisoner for the cause
So all I want to do is be stuck here with you
'cause your love is so warm
I've been the prisoner of the devil been a prisoner of the lord
been a prisoner of cheating and what I can't afford
been the prisoner of fortune of poverty and law
now all I want to do is be stuck here with you
where your love is so warm
Yes all I want to do is be stuck here with you
where your love is so warm
