The Living End Prisoner of Society Lyrics

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 showing what we’ve done
Our generation gap means the war is never won
The past is in your head, the futures in our hands!

Cuz I’m a brat – And I know everything
And I talk back – cos I’m not listening
To anything you say

And if you count to 3 1,2,3
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 nothing you can do
So we don’t need no one like you, to tell us what to do!

Cuz I’m a brat – And I know everything
And I talk back – cos I’m not listening
To anything you say

And if you count to 3 1,2,3
You’ll see it’s no emergency
You’ll see I’m not the enemy
Just a Prisoner of Society
Go!

Guitar Solo!

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 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!

Cuz I’m a brat – And I know everything
And I talk back – cos I’m not listening
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
