Livin’ in a box
What I saw of the McCain video was brilliantly done. It really wasn’t until the very end where you had the darkened hall and Fred Thompson’s blathering about “when you’ve lived in a box” where it went a little too over the top. Up until that point, it was tone perfect, brilliant political theater/propaganda.
Am I too cynically rooted in pop culture? Fred Thompson’s bit at the end made me start humming this:
Woke up this morning
Closed in on all sides
Nothing doing
I feel resistance
As I open my eyes
Someone’s fooling
I’ve found a way to break
Through this cellophane line
Cause I know what’s going on
In my own mind
Am I living in a box
Am I living in a cardboard box
Am I living in a box
Am I living in a cardboard box
Am I living in a box
Life goes in circles
Around and around circulation
I sometimes wonder
What’s moving underground
I’m escaping
I’ve found a way …
I’ve found a way …
Am I living in a cardboard box
Am I living in a box (living)
Am I living in a cardboard box
Am I living in a box (living)
Am I living in a cardboard box
Am I living in a box (living)
Am I living in a cardboard box
Am I living am I living am I living
Am I living am I living am I living
(In a box)
Am I living am I living
Am I living in cardboard box
Am I living in a box
Am I living am I living
Am I living in a cardboard box
Am I living in a box
