[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
We live with no reason
Kicked '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

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
We live in a prison
Among judgеs and wardens
And wait for no reason, no use
Wе laugh in a prison
Go through all four seasons
And die with no vision of truth
[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental Outro]
