Box City lyrics

[Verse 1]
Once, there was a promise
A promise made to me
That if I keep working hard
My dream would come to be

[Chorus]
Built a future with my hands
Was punctual, met demands
Then suddenly, tragedy
If the system keeps f*ckin' me
I'm going back to Box City
Box City

[Verse 2]
If patience is a virtue
Then I am a saint
Bureaucracy in motion:
"Sir, you're going to have to wait"

[Chorus]
It takes a buck to make a buck
And those with none, I guess, are f*cked
So, we were never really free
This winter is killing me
I'm trapped out here in Box City

[Solo]

[Verse 1]
Once, there was a promise
A promise made to me
That if I keep working hard
My dream would come to be

[Chorus]
Built a future with my hands
Was punctual, met demands
Then suddenly, tragedy
If the system keeps f*ckin' me
I'm going back to Box City
[Outro]
Box City
Box City
Box City
