Born In A Prison

[Verse: Yoko Ono] 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 [Chorus: Yoko Ono & John Lennon] 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 [Verse: Ono] We live with no reason Kicked around 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: Ono & Lennon] 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 [Verse: Ono] We live in a prison Among judges and wardens And wait for no reason for you We laugh in a prison Go through all four seasons And die with no vision of truth [Chorus: Ono & Lennon] 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 [Outro: Ono] Born in a prison
