I’ve been locked away for all these years

Now I can see the light of day

Things have changed a lot since I was last out here

I guess that’s the way things, way things go



Now I’m a freeman again

I don’t give a damn what happens in there

Now I’m through, what a life

Because now I’m a freeman



As I look around I couldn’t remember my old home

Now there’s a tower block in its way

I remember all my friends and my wife

They don’t want to know me anymore

They wouldn’t listen, they didn’t understand

They accused me of crime I didn’t commit

It was some other guy, but it wasn’t me

They wouldn’t give in, they wouldn’t believe me



But now I’m a freeman again

I couldn’t give a damn what happens in there

Now I’m through, what a life

Because now I’m a freeman
