"Medicine Man (Boy In A Box)" lyrics

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

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

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 let's all take a ride, and we can stand in line
To get a little peace of mind
From the medicine man's supply
From the medicine man's supply

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

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 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

Tune in, tune out
Breathe in, breathe out
Tune in, tune out
Breathe in, breathe out
