Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Trapped in a box of tremendous size
It distorts my vision, it closes my eyes
Attracts filthy flies and pollutes in the skies
It sucks up our lives and proliferates lies
Trapped in a box
[Verse 2]
Trapped in a box, four walls and sky
Got a screen for a window, 'bout two feet wide
My mind rides and slides as my circuits are fried
No room for thought, use a box as my guide
Trapped in a box
[Verse 3]
Ooh, trapped in a box
Watch the world as it flocks
To life's paradox
We're all trapped in a box
[Verse 4]
Oh, trapped in a box, though I'm not alone
I know of others with a box as their home
Light only enters from a crack or a hole
This is not enough for a human to grow
Trapped in a box
[Verse 5]
Ooh, trapped in a box
Watch the world as it flocks
To life's paradox
We're all trapped in a box
[Verse 6]
Always watching a different view
Instant gratification for you
Reality gone with a single click
I just hope that that switch won't stick
[Verse 7]
Uh, trapped in a box, my life becomes void
And all of the thought for myself's now destroyed
Controlling my mind, what to eat, what to buy
Subliminal rules, how to live, how to die
Trapped in a box
[Verse 8]
Ooh, trapped in a box
Watch the world as it flocks
To life's paradox
We're all, we're trapped in a box
[Verse 9]
Ooh, trapped in a box
Watch the world as it flocks
To life's paradox
We're all trapped in a box
[Verse 10]
Ooh
Ooh, baby
Ooh
