Born in a Prison

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We are born in a prison Raised in a prison Sent to a prison called school We cry in a prison We love in a prison We dream in a prison like fools [Verse 2] We live with no reason Kicked 'round for no reason Thrown out without reason like tools We work in a prison And hate in a prison And die in a prison as a rule [Chorus] Wood becomes a flute when it's loved Reach for yourself and your battered mates Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken Look in the mirror and see your shattered fate [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] We live in a prison Among judgеs and wardens And wait for no reason, no use Wе laugh in a prison Go through all four seasons And die with no vision of truth [Chorus] Wood becomes a flute when it's loved Reach for yourself and your battered mates Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken Look in the mirror and see your shattered fate [Instrumental Outro]
