(I'm Not In) Prison Lyrics

Walk around the world
Feel the destruction
I read all about it
I know all the headlines
And I say to myself, "what a lucky man!
Glad I'm alive, I can go where I can"

[Chorus]
I'm not in prison
I'm not in prison
I'm not in prison
No, I'm not in prison

Walked around in the world
What I see there'
I see all the trash lying there in the field now
And I say to myself, "what a lucky man!
Glad I'm alive, I can go where I can"

[Chorus]

And I say to myself, "what a lucky man!
Glad I'm alive, I can go where I can"

[Chorus: x2]

I'm glad I'm not in prison also... hahaha.

@northernwater This seems to be about seeing how crappy the world is, and feeling lucky that you're a good person and not part of the crappy world. You not someone who deserves to be in prison.

@northernwater I mean't to say "You ARE not someone who deserves to be in prison", LOL, I forgot the "are".
