Mike Brunacini - All Boxed In Lyrics

When you were young
They told you that you could do anything
And as you grew up
They told you that you could do anything
I want to be an astronaut
An officer of the law
A firefighter a teacher
Or the mayor at city hall

Somewhere along the line the truth is told
That no one talks about
That we all have a lot in life
And it's hard to get out because

We're all boxed in

A few brave souls they dared to leave
To seek the promised land
But all they found were dying dreams
That didn't fit the plan

This is what we're taught
How were we supposed to know
We'd be living in a box
With nowhere else to go

Someone needs to break the mold
That we're all supposed to fit
You tell me this is everything
I say you're full of shit
Someone get a box-cutter
We're all boxed in
