Box City Lyrics

Box City

Once there was a promise



A promise made to me



That if I keep working hard



My dream would come to be



Built a future with my hands



Was punctual, met demands



Then suddenly tragedy



If the system keeps fuckin' me



I'm going back to the box city



If patience is a virtue



Then I am a saint



Beaurocracy in motion



Sir



You're going to have to wait



It takes a buck to make a buck



And those with none I guess are fucked



So we were never really free



This winter is killing me



I'm trapped out here in box city
