Prisoner Of War
Written by Jan Hammer & Colin Hodgkinson
Lead Vocals by James Young
Name, rank and number
That's all that you're allowed to tell
So they drag down the hallway
And lock you up in a cell
There ain't no doors or windows
Light's on night and day
You can scream plead or beg them
But nobody hears what you say
Prisoner of War
What were you fighting for?
Do you know? You're a
Prisoner of War
What were you fighting for?
Do you know?
You didn't steal their secrets
Don't believe in no cause
They know you've done no wrong
But you've broken all of their laws
Barbed wire, dogs and borders
We're brave, but we're not free
The whole world's a prison and
Somebody's lost the key
Prisoner of War
What were you fighting for?
Do you know? You're a
Prisoner of War
What were you fighting for?
Do you know?
