Choose Your Own Adventure

I want a box around myself

So they can put me on the shelf

To see the way I live

But the holes are blocked

By everybody else inside

As far as I can tell

They're all living well

Living better, still

Oh, that's the way it is

Climbing up the corporate ladder

Trying to escape through the roof

Can you explain lives led in vain?

It seems like everybody's looking for their way out

It's not a problem, it's hell

We only do what people tell

But can you tell me, anyone

The consequences of setting someone free?

Can you explain lives led in vain?

It seems like everybody's looking for their way out

Have you ever felt the pinch

When you life's confined?

Well, get your ass in line

It's hard not to care what they say

I'd like to think we'll break away

I don't believe that growing up

Means cashing out and giving up

Can you explain lives led in vain?

It seems like everybody's looking for their way out

This box contains just one thing

The fact that I will probably never find a way

Can't you help me fade out?

You know that everybody's looking for their way out
