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
