The Box

Box Box Box The box Yesterday, when I was just a boy In days 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 Electric waves, the demons fly How could we just be bred to kill or die Well there must be something else (Die) For the blame I place on myself (Die) Behind the tired eyes The tears go uncried In the box (Doing time) In the box (Just doing time) In the box (Doing 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 goods you know 'dem got for murder It's just another guest on death's best show The influence cuts deeper than mom knows Electric waves, the demons fly How could we just be bred to kill or die There's got must be something else (Die) For the blame I place on myself (Die) Behind tired eyes, the demons stir The tears go un-cried In the box (Doing time) In the box (Just doing time) In the box (Doing time) In the box Minds are locked down Minds are locked down Minds are locked down Minds are locked down
