| Song | Born in a Prison |
| Artist | John Lennon |
| Album | Some Time in New York City |
| Lyrics：Yoko Ono Music：Yoko Ono | |
| We're 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 | |
| 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 around 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 | |
| Among judges and wardens | |
| And wait for no reason for you | |
| We laugh in a prison | |
| Go 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 |
| Lyrics: Yoko Ono Music: Yoko Ono | |
| We' re 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 | |
| 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 around 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 | |
| Among judges and wardens | |
| And wait for no reason for you | |

| Reach for yourself and your battered mates | |
| Mirror becomes a razor when it' s broken | |
| Look in the mirror and see your shattered fate |
