Box City Lyrics by Pro-Pain (Metal)

Contents Under Pressure

1996

[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 fuckin' 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 fucked
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 fuckin' me
I'm going back to Box City
[Outro]
Box City
Box City
Box City
