Magnum: Prisoner of fortune [lyrics]

Magnum

Prisoner of fortune

I'm a prisoner of fortune trying to make ends meet

Slaving in this factory in the summer heat

Workin' for a paycheck

No pride, no shame

If I die here I'm the one to blame

You see people's hearts, I see the numbers

Greed and conceit are pulling me under

Don't want a window, 'cause people can see

I'm a prisoner of fortune in the first degree

CHORUS

Prisoner of fortune, work for the gold

Many a man has been bought and sold

Prisoner of fortune, it's all a scheme

If you're a prisoner of fortune, forget about dreams

We're all prisoners of fortune workin' day to day

Money takes our time and our friends away

Live for position, it's all we can do

Workin' every day 'till our lives are through

CHORUS
