H0: The Box

Verse 1

You were born to consume, to digest, and to earn, and to learn, not exactly in that order.

You were born to grow up, to have sex, to inhale, to exhale and to live and not to bother.

And now you’re free of all the problems of the youth.

And you can see what is important, where’s the truth…

it is...

Refrain

Just live and enjoy…

Verse 2

You don’t care about them, their lives, their wars, their ways, and about their freedom.

You don’t vote, you provide no support to their cause that’s because you just have different rhythm.

Big brother can go fuck himself, you don’t care.

And if he comes and asks for help, you will say…

Refrain

Middle part

Yes, you will learn to close your doors, to save your life.

Yes, you will have to live with people of your kind

But still no matter what you do, you’ll always know,

You’d never loose control...

Solo

Refrain

Verse 3

You were born with a spoon in your mouth, and you think that it must have been made with some gold or some silver,

You were destined for something so great that you don’t want to hear… about problems of people.

And you will live your sacred life as you want.

You have a plan how to succeed in this world… it is…

Verse 1

So, you think you are free of your chains?

And you think that you have the control?

Well, you will have to stick with your lane,

If society tells you so.

Solo

Verse 2

You will have to learn tenets by heart,

If you want to succeed in this world,

Even if you are cunning and smart,

You will do what they say, if they tell you so.

Refrain

We are here for you,

Even if you don’t want,

Even when you’re alone,

We’ll caress and support,

We will not let you go,

We’ll provide the good thoughts

Just remember to do

What society wants.

Solo

Verse 3

You’ve been taught to conform and submit,

You’ve been taught how to drink and to chew,

You will teach your children to fit,

As society tells them to.

Refrain

Verse 4

You would live happy life of a sheep,

You would have decent house and job,

You would be what they ask you to be,

‘cause society told you so.

Verse 1

Show me what you have, and I’ll tell you who you are, my friend.

All your problems can be solved with a greasy hand.

It is not a theft, it is just a magic trick

Nobody will notice, but you will make all ends meet.

If you know how to corrupt,

To deceive and to disrupt,

Then one day you will control and own

All the money in the world

Solo

Verse 2

Moral is a construct, it’s for losers and for weak,

It will stop you from obtaining stuff you need.

You just gotta do the things you gotta do,

Even if some people think, you’ve crossed a line or two.

If you ready to embrace

Life of freedom from your chase

Then one day, my friend, you will control

All the money in the world.

Chorus

Have it all, no need to stop

Sex and drugs, Korean pop,

Even all the toilet paper rolls.

Power, freedom, love and joy,

You create and you destroy,

You can do whatever shit you want…

Having all the money in the world

Solo

Chorus

Verse 3

Show me what you have, and I’ll tell you who you are, my friends.

If you have your quids, ponies, troops of monkeys in the hands,

Then you oughta do the things you want to do,

There will always be somebody else coveting you.

If you ready to embrace

Life of freedom from your chase

Then one day, my friends, you will control

All the money in the world.

Verse 1

Can you do this? Can you do that? Can you do these?

Yes, man.

Can you print it? Can you scan it? Can you send it?

Yes, man.

Can you mow my lawn, can you fix my phone?

Can you pay my bill, do you know the drill?

Don’t tell us “no”, we rely on you alone,

Only you can save us all,

Yesman!

Verse 2

Can you start my car? Can you play guitar? Can you light a star?

Yes, man.

Can you start a strife? Can you do my wife? Can you fix my life?

Yes, man.

Can you write a piece? Can you bring us peace?

Can you cure a decease, satisfy caprice?

Don’t tell us “nope”, you’re our only hope,

You have a power that will save us,

Yesman!

Refrain

The night is dark, the rain is wet, the fire burns,

And you are young, you have so much to learn.

You do not have the time, no matter what you do.

You need to learn to be a “noman” too.

Verse 3

Can you do this, please? Can you do that, please? Can you do these, please?

Yes, man.

Can you fill this form? Can you play this role? Can you, please, conform?

Yes, man.

Can you, please, don’t squeeze? Can you, please, don’t sneeze?

Can you, please, don’t breath? Can you disappear?

Don’t tell us “nope”, only you can help the world,

You have a power that will save us,

Yesman!

Refrain

The night is dark, the rain is wet, no matter what,

You don’t have time to solve the problems of the world.

You cannot be a superhero all the time,

You also need to just step out of the line.

Solo based on verse chords

Verse 4

Can you do this? Can you do that? Can you do these?

Yes, man.

Can you, please, conform? Can you change the norm and avoid the storm?

Yes, man.

Can you play this role? Do you have a sole?

Can you loose control? Will you die alone?

Verse 1

When your heart slows down,

When you catch a breath,

When you look around

And you see the mess

That you’ve left behind

That you cannot hide,

Hurting everyone,

Think of what you’ve done...

Verse 2

You’ve been running fast,

You’ve created hell.

You did not come last,

But you cannot tell

Fantasies from life,

Home sweet home from works,

You are with your pride,

Locked inside a box.

Verse 3

You’ve worked like a dog,

You have dumped your friends.

Now you are alone,

Running till it ends.

Verse 1

Sit back and enjoy, you are home you are safe, just relax!

You can drink your beer, watch TV, cut yourself some slacks.

You can cry and shout, you can swear – all restrictions gone.

You are in your box, you are free, you can do what you want.

All the problems are gone,

The life’s going on,

You are home

You are good as you are,

You don’t need to be smart,

Beauty is in your heart,

In the box you feel safe,

There’s no pain, you are brave,

You don’t need to improve

To grow up and to move

Just relax, life is good,

Have some beer, have some food.

But beware that one day

You might be gone astray…

Verse 2

People call you words, they are evil and totally wrong.

Even if it’s not what they mean, cut all ties and be gone.

They are gonna pay, they are bitter and utterly dumb.

You just need to wait for your turn to spit back on their bum.

All the problems are gone,

The life’s going on,

You are home

You are good as you are,

You don’t need to be smart,

Beauty is in your heart,

In the box, you feel safe,

There’s no tension, no chafe.

All the mirrors are gone,

You can do what you want.

You don’t need to look back,

You don’t need to have tact.

But you notice one day

That you have gone astray…

Solo

Verse 3

Life is just not fair, you don’t get all the toys you deserve,

But when the judgment comes, you will seat in your seat and observe.

You will not forget the mistakes of your friends and colleagues,

You will not forgive their comments and their critiques.

All the problems are gone,

The life’s going on,

You are home

You are good as you are,

You don’t need to be smart,

Beauty is in your heart,

In the box…       

Verse 1

Look around yourself,

Think about your life.

What have you achieved?

What is left behind?

You are still down here,

You have missed your chance,

You are catching up,

You cannot advance.

All your victories are

Artificial

And your knowledge is

Superficial.

You are getting old,

You feel you are the

greatest mediocrity in the world

Solo

Verse 2

When you were so young,

And the future was

Further than the sky,

Brighter than the sun.

You just lived for fun,

Throwing heads and tails.

You believed in love,

And in fairy tales.

You did not have time

For the boring stuff,

You were in your prime,

You were rough and tough.

Now it’s all in mould,

Inside you, is the

greatest mediocrity in the world.

Refrain

Verse 3

You are mortal now,

You are more fragile,

You are less agile,

You are left with doubts.

You just stay alone,

In your empty home,

You have things to do,

You don’t want to go.

You don’t want to live,

You don’t want to die,

You don’t want to cry,

You don’t want to sleep

You are getting old,

But you are still the

greatest mediocrity in the world

Verse 1

Does this all make sense, have you really lived the life you like?

Do you have a free will, can you choose, can you decide?

You now realise that you would fail even if you tried.

The world is not enough, ‘cause you’re really dead inside.

Verse 2

Life is like a movie, but you do not have a role.

It is late to change things, it is time to loose control.

First you were not sure, but now you don’t have any doubt.

You can feel your turn, it’s coming inside out.

Verse 1

You are driving on a motorway

You don’t have anywhere to stay

You’re free of all societal constraints

You do not owe to anyone

You’re on your own, and you are done

With pointless world that you have left behind.

Solo

Verse 2

Things were so clear, when you were young:

Nothing to prove to anyone,

No work, no fear, no duties and no doubt.

You are adult now, and so what?

You can have anything you want,

But problems can’t be solved with all the ice cream in the world.

Refrain

But is there something straight in front of you?

You have been driving blindly fast askew.

And now you see what you’ve ignored

You missed your turn and road in front... is just…

...dead end

Verse 1

Rivers flow, birds fly away,

We don't control the words we say.

And things we own end up possessing us.

All day long the Earth revolves,

Your hair grows grey, resolve dissolves,

And you are here, but you live in the past.

Refrain

But if you stop and think about what you are,

You might find out that the past is very far.

And trees grow high! This fact implies,

That we don’t really realise...

Time flies.

Verse 2

You drown yourself in memories,

Remember that, remember this,

But you cannot revert the things you’ve done.

You run around, you waste your life

On something you don’t even like,

You think, that’s how it works for everyone.

Refrain

Vocalise

Solo

Verse 3

When you were young, you used to play...

But now you watch TV and pray,

And there’s a bunch of things that you can buy.

World has changed or was it you?

But you still do the things you do.

And you don't really know what for and why.

Alternative refrain

But if you stop and look around, while you can,

You'll find your pockets full of shiny useless sand.

But trees grow high and present calls,

And still nobody really knows...

Time flows.

Verse 4

You say the words, or you just don't,

It doesn't matter, they don't hold,

And asymptotically they tend to nil.

Rivers flow, birds fly away,

It doesn't matter what they say,

It doesn't even matter what I sing...

Because time flows…
