"Boxed In"

Music & Lyrics by Scott Cooley.

All day long, we stare and squares and screens

At night we go to square homes, on squares of land

And watch TVs with TV dinners in our laps

Only to fall asleep and have square dreams

Boxed in, are we bound for the recycle bin?

Will the one with the most boxes win?

Or are we just livin' in sin?

No, I think we're boxed in, just boxed in

We're all square pegs in a round world

With ninety degree angles, and in need of our borders

Who says rectangles are the natural order?

Why can't we get round, or at least curled?

Boxed in, are we bound for the recycle bin?

Will the one with the most boxes win?

Or are we just livin' in sin?

No, I think we're boxed in, just boxed in

No one thinks outside, we're all afraid to commit

We love to categorize, and make everything fit

In gated communities, the fences are proof

We're cagin' ourselves like animals in a zoo

Boxed in, are we bound for the recycle bin?

Will the one with the most boxes win?

Or are we just livin' in sin?

No, I think we're boxed in, just boxed in

Boxed in, are we bound for the recycle bin?

Will the one with the most boxes win?

Or are we just livin' in sin?

No, I think we're boxed in, yeah, just boxed in

All day long, we stare and squares and screens
