Lyrics

"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."
"Hahahahahahahaha."

I'm on the run, I kill to eat
I'm starving now, I'm feeling dead on my feet
Going all the way, I'm nature's beast
Do what I want, I'll do as I please

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

Not a prisoner I'm a free man
& 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-defence
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 gonna be tough
Now you see me, now you don't
Break the walls, I'm coming out

Not a prisoner, I'm a free man
& my blood is my own now
Don't care where the past was
I know where I'm going

I'm not a number, I'm a free man
Live my life where I want to
You'd better scratch me from your black book
'Cause I'll run rings around you

Not a prisoner, I'm a free man
& my blood is my own now
Don't care where the past was
I know where I'm going

I'm not a number, I'm a free man
Live my life where I want to
You'd better scratch me from your black book
'Cause I'll run rings around you

Not a prisoner, I'm a free man
& my blood is my own now
Don't care where the past was
I know where I'm going
