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
  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 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!
