In our boxes
We stay cool
We breathe easy
We drink booze
We eat crap
We sweat
We bathe
We cook
We clean
We watch from our box
We play
We sleep
We sit
We wait
In our boxes
We wait
The grass is greener in your box
Whose grass?
Grass means class
And class is defined by how many boxes you have
Many of us have just one box
No air
No grass
No class
Just one box
And so we'll wait
And dance
And play
And sing
And learn new things
About ourselves
And others
Watch new shows we've never seen before
Learn new things we've never known before
And wait
And then one day
The fourth wall will be broken
And the box will be a memory
Fond or not
A memory box
So cherish your box
And pass it on
Through generations
Share those shows you'd never seen before
And those things you'd never known before
Hold on
Hold tight
And wait
The box is yours
One bed, four walls, one door
