LENNON JOHN - Born in Prison lyrics

rate me

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 your battered mates

Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken

Look in the mirror and see your shattered fate
