Medicine Man (Boy in a Box)

Lyrics From YouTube

[Verse 1]

My life's alright when I'm high

I did my best to get by

I told my parents I'd try

I was losing 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 (When you're slammed)

[Chorus]

I'm a boy in a box

When you're 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 you're six, watch the clock

Get your fix out of the bottle

Drink it up, and then swallow

[Post-Chorus]

Tune in, tune out

Breathe in, breathe out

[Verse 2]

So, what's a little white lie

To parents who never try?

A little prescription high

Will help you guys to get by

So, let's all take a ride

And we can stand in line

To get a little piece of mind

From the medicine man's supply

From the medicine man's supply

[Chorus]

I'm a boy in a box

When you're 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 you're six, watch the clock

Get your fix out of the bottle

Drink it up, and then swallow

[Post-Chorus]

Tune in (Life's alright when you're high in America), tune out (Life's alright when you're high in America)

Breathe in (Life's alright when you're high in America), breathe out (Life's alright when you're high)

[Bridge]

I, was floating on a high

Up somewhere in the sky

My teacher ask me why I didn't pass the test

I have a knot down in my chest

Reach for the bottle of my meds

[Chorus]

I'm a boy in a box

When you're 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 you're six, watching clocks

Get your fix out of the bottle

Drink it up, and then swallow

[Outro]

Tune in (Life's alright when you're high in America), tune out (Life's alright when you're high in America)

Breathe in (Life's alright when you're high in America), breathe out (Life's alright when you're high)

Tune in (Life's alright when you're high in America), tune out (Life's alright when you're high in America)

Breathe in (Life's alright when you're high in America), breathe out (Life's alright when you're high)
