[Intro]
C Cm7 G A

[Verse 1]
          C                       Cm7
We're born in a prison, raised in a prison
C                                  C7
Sent to a prison called school
       F                           Fm
We cry in a prison, we love in a prison
       C                                 D
We dream in a prison, like fools

[Chorus]
E                                                 C#m
Wood becomes a flute when it's loved,
A                                            B
Reach for yourself and your battered mates
E                                                 C#m
Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken
A                                                 B
Look in the mirror and see your shattered fate

[Interlude]
C Cm7 G A

[Verse 2]
       C                                       Cm7
We live with no reason, kicked round for no reason
              C                                 C7
Thrown out without reason like tools
F                                 Fm
Work in a prison and hate in a prison
         C                            D
And die in a prison as a rule

[Chorus]
E                                                C#m
Wood becomes a flute when it's loved
A                                            B
Reach for yourself and your battered mates
E                                                  C#m
Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken
A                                                 B
Look in the mirror and see your shattered fate

[Interlude]
C Cm7 G A

[Verse 3]
       C                                 Cm7
We live in a prison among judges and wardens
       C                                 C7
And wait for no reason or use
       F                               Fm
We laugh in a prison, go through all four seasons
         C                             D
And die with no vision of truth

[Chorus]
E                                                 C#m
Wood becomes a flute when it's loved
A                                           B
Reach for yourself and your battered mates
E                                                   C#m
Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken
A                                                 B
Look in the mirror and see your shattered fate

[Interlude]

             Born in a prison!
C Cm7 G                        A
             Born in a prison!
C Cm7 G A

C                         Cm7                     G               A
 Born in a prison! Born in a prison! Born in a prison!
