My life's alright when I'm high
I did my best to get by
I told my parents I'd try
I was loosing track of my mind
So I went to the medicine man
To fix my attention span
He put a pill in my hand
Cause life's a breeze
When you're slammed
I'm a boy in a box
When your six
Watch the clock
Get your fix out of the bottle
Drink it up
And then swallow
I'm a boy in a box
When your six
Watch the clock
Get your fix out of the bottle
Drink it up
And then swallow
Tune in
Tune out
Breathe in
Breathe out
So what's a little white lie
To parents who never try
A little prescription high
Will help you guys to get by
So lets all take a ride
And we can stand in line
To get a little piece of mind
From the medicine man supply
From the medicine man supply
I'm a boy in a box
When your six
Watch the clock
Get your fix out of the bottle
Drink it up
And then swallow
I'm a boy in a box
When your six
Watch the clock
Get your fix out of the bottle
Drink it up
And then swallow
Tune in
Tune out
Breathe in
Breathe out
I was floating on a high
Up somewhere in the sky
My teacher asked me why
I didn't pass the test
I have a knot down in my chest
Reach for the bottle of my meds
I'm a boy in a box
When your six
Watching clocks
Get your fix out of the bottle
Drink it up
And then swallow
I'm a boy in a box
When your six
Watch the clock
Get your fix out of the bottle
Drink it up
And then swallow
Tune in
Tune out
Breathe in
Breathe out
(Life's alright when your high in America)
