(We want information, information, information)
(Who are you?)
(The new number two)
(Who is number one?)
(You are number six)
(I am not a number, I am a free man)

I'm on the run kill to eat
You're starving now you're dead on your feet
Going all the way nature's beast
Do what I want as I please

Run, fight, to breathe it's tough
Now you see me now you don't
Break the walls I'm coming out

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

If you kill me it's self defense
If I kill you then I call it vengeance
Spit in your eye I will defy
You'll be afraid when I call out your name

Run, fight, to breathe it's tough
Now you see me now you don't
Break the walls I'm coming out

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

I'm not a number I'm a free man
I'll live my life how I want to 
You'd better scratch me from your black book
'Cause I'll run rings round you

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

I'm not a number I'm a free man
I'll live my life how I want to 
You'd better scratch me from your black book
'Cause I'll run rings round you

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
