"Born In A Prison" lyrics

[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

[John Lennon & Yoko Ono:]
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

[Yoko 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

[John Lennon & Yoko Ono:]
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

[Yoko 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

[John Lenon & Yoko Ono:]
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

[Yoko Ono:]
Born in a prison
