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 and your battered mates Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken Look in the mirror and 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 and your battered mates Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken Look in the mirror and see your shattered fate
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
Wood becomes a flute when it's loved Reach for yourself and for your battered mates Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken Look in the mirror and see your shattered fate
Born in a prison Born in a prison Born in a prison Born in a prison
