Born In a Prison Lyrics

We're born in a prison
Raised in a prison
Sent to a prison called schoolWe cry in a prison
We love in a prison
We dream in a prison like foolsWood 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 fateWe live with no reason
Kicked around for no reason
Thrown out without reason like toolsWe work in a prison
And hate in a prison
And die in a prison as a ruleWood 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 fateWe 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 truthWood 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
