Born In Prison
We're 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
Wood becomes a flute when it's loved
Reach for yourself & your battered mates
Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken
Look in the mirror & see your shattered fate
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
Wood becomes a flute when it's loved
Reach for yourself & your battered mates
Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken
Look in the mirror & see your shattered fate
We live in a prison
Among judges & 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
Wood becomes a flute when it's loved
Reach for yourself & your battered mates
Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken
Look in the mirror & see your shattered fate
