Mean steel man halfway grinningGave me a box didn't know what's in itSmooth and shiny big and tinyDidn't want to look insideWHY?Cos I was scared of what was gonna be thereMaybe gonna see my soul too bareAnd if so I wanted to goCos that's something I'd rather not knowMean steel man made me furiousBut I couldn't help being curiousHe knew I couldn't hold backIt was my pathHe laughedCHORUS:You bought the big black boxYou threw your soul on the rocksYou bought the big black boxYou bought the big black, big black BOXSomething changed I rearrangedLike this whole thing was preordainedMy heart shattered and animal matterServed to me my mind on a platterI lost it all inside the boxSittin there starin at the clockWatchin life from the beginningAll its worth all its sinningAs its hopeless people fellI turned my back what the hellLike all my ancestors through timeIn self and ignorance our common crimeCHORUSNow I spend my nights trying to forgetThe things I saw I regretGoin forward never tellLet the others fend for themselvesDemons' eyes pass me byPiercin through on either sideI'll let it slide let it dieLift my sights up to the skyThe pain has fallen to anotherWho has yet to discoverA big black box sittin on a shelfA mean steel man inside himselfCHORUS
