Box, box, box, box

Yesterday when I was just a boy
In times of youthful hero worship
My kind have been molded by images on the screen
Brought up to emulate the big guns

Just another guest on death's best show
The influence cuts deeper than mom knows
Those electric waves the demon's fly
Now could we just be bred to kill or die

There must be something else
The blame I place on myself
Behind the tired eyes the tears go uncried

In the box, doin' time
In the box, just like doin' time
In the box, doin' time
In the box

Now that I'm grown abandoned childhood toys
But still what danger have I retained
To grab the brass ring to go in for the kill
And covet the good you know 'dem got for murder

It's just another guest on death's best show
The influence cuts deeper than mom knows
Those electric waves the demon's fly
Now could we just be bred to kill or die

There must be something else
The blame I place on myself
Behind the tired eyes the tears go, the tears go uncried

In the box, doin' time
In the box, just like doin' time
In the box, doin' time
In the box
