In The Box

Stand in line, get the paper, get the pen
Go sit down, look around, fill it out, fill it in
Write it neat, make it pretty, make it clear
On the line, make it fine, take your time, we'll be here

Fit inside, in the box, don't say nothing, don't you talk
If you're square, if you're round, you'll find someway to get down
On your knees, looking up, at the rulers up above
You'll be one with the people, with the love

You can force yourself to fit in
Or you can be great the way you
Are, just raise your fists and raise that
Finger in the middle, if you

Follow all the rules you'll
Have an easy life and you'll
Never have a problem
Never know your freedom
Do all what they ask and
Fit inside the box and
Never have a problem
Never know your freedom

If you do not fight this war then
You will never be the one you
Are, so raise your fists and raise that
Finger in the middle and just—

Join the crowd, join the fashion, join the trend
Lose your face, lose your ways, lose your days to just make friends
If you do, if you try it, you will see
No more stares, no more glares, no more taunts, you can be

You can be another face just
Lost in the crowd or you can be
You, just raise your fists and raise that
Finger in the middle, if you

Follow all the rules you'll
Have an easy life and you'll
Never have a problem
Never know your freedom
Do all what they ask and
Fit inside the box and
Never have a problem
Never know your freedom

Never know your freedom

I could follow all the rules
And have an easy life
And always wonder what if, what if I

Hadn't followed all the rules and
Followed all my dreams and
Traveled by the compass
Hidden my heart and
What if I had just lived
Life up for each moment
Taking every day by storm

If you
Follow all the rules you'll
Have an easy life and you'll
Never have a problem
Never know your freedom
Do all what they ask and
Fit inside the box and
Never have a problem
Never know your freedom

Follow all the rules you'll
Have an easy life and you'll
Never have a problem
Never know your freedom
Do all what they ask and
Fit inside the box and
Never have a problem
Never know your freedom

If you do not fight this war then
You will never be the one you
Are, so raise your fists and raise that
Finger in the middle and just scream
