We're born in a prisonraised in a prison

Sent to a prison called school.

We cry in a prisonwe 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 reasonkicked 'round 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 'mong judges and wardens

And wait for no reason for you.

We laugh in a prisongo 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.
