[Verse 1]
Trapped in a box of tremendous size
It distorts my vision, it closes my eyes
Attracts filthy flies and pollutes in the skies
It sucks up our lives and proliferates lies
Trapped in a box

Trapped in a box, four walls as sky
Got a screen for a window about two feet wide
My mind rides and slides as my circuits are fried
No room for thought, use the box as my guide
Trapped in a box

[Chorus]
Oooh, trapped in a box
Watch the world as it flocks
To life's paradox
And we're all trapped in a box

[Verse 2]
Oh trapped in a box I'm not alone
I know of others with a box as their home
Light only enters from a crack or a hole
Oh this is not enough for a human to grow
Trapped in a box

[Chorus]
Oooh, trapped in a box
Watch the world as it flocks
To life's paradox
And we're all trapped in a box

[Bridge]
Always wanting a different view
Instant gratification for you
Reality gone with a single click
I just hope that that switch won't stick

[Verse 3]
Ah trapped in a box my life becomes void
And all of the thought for myself's now destroyed
Controlling my mind, what to eat, what to buy
Subliminal rules: how to live, how to die
Trapped in a box

[Chorus]
Ooh, trapped in a box
Watch the world as it flocks
To life's paradox
And we're all trapped in a box
Ooh, trapped in a box
Watch the world as it flocks
To life's paradox
And we're all trapped in a box

[Outro]
We're all trapped in a box
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
We're all trapped in a box

No Doubt

No Doubt formed in Anaheim, California in 1986. They have created a decade-defining style and have arguably become one of the most recognized bands of their time. The band has consisted of vocalist and frontwoman Gwen Stefani, guitarist Tom Dumont, bassist Tony Kanal, and drummer Adrian Young, as well as several former members—including Gwen’s older brother Eric Stefani.

They found mainstream success following the release of their third studio album Tragic Kingdom in late 1995. It eventually landed at the top of the Billboard charts in 1996, and has sold over 8 million copies as of 2012.
