[Verse 1: Yoko Ono]
We are born in a prison
Raised in a prison
Sent to a prison called school
[Verse 2: Yoko Ono]
We cry in a prison
We love in a prison
We dream in a prison like fools
[Chorus: 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
[Verse 3: Yoko Ono]
We live with no reason
Kicked around for no reason
Thrown out without reason like tools
[Verse 4: Yoko Ono]
We work in a prison
And hate in a prison
And die in a prison as a rule
[Chorus: 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
[Verse 5: Yoko Ono]
We live in a prison
Among judges and wardens
And wait for no reason for you
[Verse 6: Yoko Ono]
We laugh in a prison
Go through all four seasons
And die with no vision of truth
[Chorus: 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
[Outro: Yoko Ono]
