Born In Prison Lyrics - John Lennon

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
