...as i was watching TV the other day

...when i was in my fuckin cell the other day

...when i was in my coffin the other day


...i was in my, my fuckin box


Yesterday when I was just a boy in times of youthful hero worship...

Yes, well, my kind have been molded by images on the screen...

Brought up to emulate the big guns

Just another guest on death's best show
The influence cuts deeper than mom knows
Those Electric waves, the demon's fly
Now could we just be bred to kill or DIE
There must be something else
The blame I place on myself
Behind tired eyes the demons stir
The tears go uncried


In the Box - doin' time
Now that I'm grown
Abandoned childhood toys
But still what danger have I retained?
To grab the brass ring
& go in for the kill & covet the goods you know dem got for murder
In the box - doin' time
& the minds are locked down
