The Box lyrics

They put him in the box
And they gave him toys to play with
They gave him the best of Beethoven
And a bowling ball
And they told him to invent games
They told him to play music
They told him to write stories
They told him if he did these things
They would let him out of the box
They would let him out of the box
They would let him out of the box
And he did these things
And he did them incredibly well
But they didn't let him out of the box
They lie (13X)
This is what he learned
When they put him in the box
