One bed, four walls, one door

georgias

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
