Trapped In A Box Lyrics
Trapped in a box of tremendous size
It distorts my vision, it closes my eyes
Attracts filthy flies and pollutes in the skies
It sucks up our lives and proliferates lies
Trapped in a box
Trapped in a box, four walls as sky
Got a screen for a window about two feet wide
My mind rides and slides as my circuits are fried
No room for thought, use the box as my guide
Trapped in a box
Ooh trapped in a box
Watch the world as it flocks
To life's paradox
And we're all trapped in a box
Oh trapped in a box I'm not alone
I know of others with a box as their home
Light only enters from a crack or a hole
Oh this is not enough for a human to grow
Trapped in a box
Ooh trapped in a box
Watch the world as it flocks
To life's paradox
And we're all trapped in a box
Always wanting a different view
Instant gratification for you
Reality gone with a single click
Just hope that that switch won't stick
Ah trapped in a box my life becomes void
And all of the thought for myself's now destroyed
Controlling my mind, what to eat, what to buy
Subliminal rules: how to live, how to die
Trapped in a box
Ooh trapped in a box
Watch the, the world as it flocks
To life's paradox
And we're all, we're trapped in a box
Ooh trapped in a box
Watch the world as it flocks
To life's paradox
We're all trapped in a box
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
We're all trapped in a box
It distorts my vision, it closes my eyes
Attracts filthy flies and pollutes in the skies
It sucks up our lives and proliferates lies
Trapped in a box
Got a screen for a window about two feet wide
My mind rides and slides as my circuits are fried
No room for thought, use the box as my guide
Trapped in a box
Watch the world as it flocks
To life's paradox
And we're all trapped in a box
I know of others with a box as their home
Light only enters from a crack or a hole
Oh this is not enough for a human to grow
Trapped in a box
Watch the world as it flocks
To life's paradox
And we're all trapped in a box
Instant gratification for you
Reality gone with a single click
Just hope that that switch won't stick
And all of the thought for myself's now destroyed
Controlling my mind, what to eat, what to buy
Subliminal rules: how to live, how to die
Trapped in a box
Watch the, the world as it flocks
To life's paradox
And we're all, we're trapped in a box
Ooh trapped in a box
Watch the world as it flocks
To life's paradox
We're all trapped in a box
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
We're all trapped in a box

okay this is my favorate No Doubt song
This is one of the best No Doubt songs ever
this is definetely no doubts best song, its about how tv suffocates everyones life, and brings them away from reality
I see how this song is about entertainment and TV, but I live in a small town.. and it reminds me of being "trapped here" in my box. ugh. ..
"watch the world as it flocks/to life's paradox" ...genius! these lyrics are brilliant. one of my favorite ND songs. i used it for a school project last year.
It's such an amazing song! Her voice is great snivel why can't no doubt return to stuff like this?
Reminds me of highschool stereotypes. I've heard of stereotypes being adressed to as 'boxes' before, but TV does seem to make sense.
This is my favorite No Doubt song. Period.
I like it. The box is a metaphor not only for TV but for the increasingly limiting aspects of modern life as a whole. One of their earliest and best songs.
''subliminal rules how to live how to die''
yeah!!!!!!!!! this song ROCKS
