box  -  mustard  plug

  i  know  a  guy  who  lives  in  a  box

  he  built  it  himself  of  cement  and  rocks

  and  he'll  never  come  out  though

  i  beg  and  plead

    he's  got  all  that  he  wants

  if  not  all  that  he  needs

  you  see  he  couldn't  take  the  world

  and  what  it's  done  to  him

  he  just  had  to  escape,  had  to  shut  himself  in

    now  his  walls  are  his  friends

  so  he's  never  alone

  and  he's  never  bothered  in  his  cubic  home

    living  in  a  box

    every  night  and  day

    living  in  a  box

    and  i'm  here  to  stay

  living  in  a  box

    there's  no  escape

    living  in  a  box

    and  though  i  try

  i  can  never  get  away,  hey!

    out  in  my  box  that  is  also  my  van

  just  another  six  weeks  of  one  night  stands

  and  i  can't  get  away,  cause  it's  where  that  i  go

  from  the  van  to  the  club  to  our  nightly  hotel

    you  see  it  takes  me  to  places,

  even  took  me  to  you

    i  got  no  choice,  i  gotta  pay  my  dues

    worth  it  or  not,  there's  no  escape  from  my  cell

  one  hour  of  fun  for  twenty  three  of  hell

    living  in  a  box

    every  night  and  day

    living  in  a  box

    and  i'm  here  to  stay

    living  in  a  box

    there's  no  escape

    living  in  a  box

    and  though  i  try

  i  can  never  get  away,  hey!

    living  in  a  box  for  so  long

    i  got  to  find  my  way  out  to  go  on

  and  what  i  got  is  no  time  for  you

  i'm  in  my  box  without  a  thing  to  do

    look  at  yourself,  you're  living  the  same

    locked  behind  walls

  that  your  brother  has  made

  you  were  born  in  a  box,

  you  work  in  a  box,

  you  live  in  a  box  and  you'll  die  in  a  box

    so  much  more  that's  outside  your  sphere

  but  you  walk  on  by  never  knowing  how  near

    so  much  more  than  the  walls  do  show

    but  if  you're  not  very  careful

  then  you'll  never  know!

  living  in  a  box

    every  night  and  day

  living  in  a  box

    and  i'm  here  to  stay

    living  in  a  box

    there's  no  escape

    living  in  a  box

    and  though  i  try

  i  can  never  get  away,  hey!

  never  get  away,  hey!

  never  get  away,  hey!
