Born In A Prison

"Born In A Prison"                  Yoko Ono         We’re born in a prision raised in a prision Send to a prision called school We cry in a prision We love in a prision We dream in a prision 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 round for no reason Thrown out without reason like tools. 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 or use We laugh in a prision go through all four seasons And die with no vision or 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.        Transcribed by Leif thiborg 061020
