F                C
I know a guy who lives in a box
   A                   Bb
He built it himself of cement and rocks
          F                       C
And he'll never come out though I beg and plead
         A                        Bb
He's got all that he wants if not all that he needs
           F                                     C
You see he couldn't take the world and what it's done to him
   A                     Bb    
He had to escape, had to lock himself in
    F                          C
His walls are his friends he's never alone
A                     Bb
Never bothered in his cubic home


     F               G   Bb 
He's living in a box
         C         
Each and every day
F               G   Bb
Living in a box
           C
There's no other way
F               G   Bb
Living in a box
            C
And there's no escape
F               G   Bb
Living in a box
    C
And though he tries

He can never get away, hey!

F                     C

     A                    Bb
Just another six weeks of one night stands
      F                    C
And I can't get away, it's where that I go
         A                      Bb

F                   C
Worth it or not, No escape from my cell

One hour of fun for twenty three of Hell

Living in my box for so long
A                    Bb
I got to find my way out to go on
F                    C
And what I got is no time for you
    A                   Bb
I'm in my box without a thing to do


F                        C
Look at yourself, you're living the same
A                             Bb
Locked behind walls that your brother has made
          F                 C
You were born in a box, you work in a box

You walk on by never knowing how near
F                     C
So much more than the walls do show
          A                            Bb
If you're not very careful then you'll never know!

I can never get away, hey!

Never get away, hey!

Never get away, hey!


[Spoken]
Each and every day
365 days a year
I know there's no escape
And I can feel the walls closing in
I know there's no escape
there's no escape from my box
