"Out of the Box" Song Lyrics

Revolution of Minds
We revolt not against the government in which we live
We revolt not against the churches to which money we give
We revolt against the minds which will not let us live

(chorus)
The time has come for us to see, the true act of being free
We cannot let our minds be ruled, for we are only being fooled
It’s our turn to make the find, it’s our revolution of minds

They tell us life is over and we’ll soon be dead
But it’s only the funny wheels going round in their heads
They should turn out the lights and go to bed

(chorus)
The time has come for us to see, the true act of being free
We cannot let our minds be ruled, for we are only being fooled
It’s our turn to make the find, it’s our revolution of minds

People run in panic, believe every word they say
But I’m staying home for the rest of the day
I refuse to listen to their theory, and I’ll go my way

Mae
I been sitting at the bar since 5 o’clock, my boss said he thought he was talking to a rock
My girl just left with my very best friend, a truck with a hemi and tools falling out the back end
We had a great family of two small dogs, one named Butch and the other called Frog
But the light of my life sat in the driveway, it was a dark blue truck and her name was Mae.

(chorus)
You can take a man’s pride, you can take his cash
You can make him feel low and put him out with the trash
But don’t take a man’s truck, or throw away his tools
Cause he’ll sit at the bar, and drink like a fool!

My girl said I didn’t make her feel special, and often thought I was a bit of a devil
Said I drink too much beer, watch too many games, and then didn’t even remember her name.
But of all the things that made her grumble, when I talked about my truck, she went postal.
Everything was gone when I woke one day, the furniture, the TV, but mainly Mae

(chorus)
You can take a man’s pride, you can take his cash
You can make him feel low and put him out with the trash
But don’t take a man’s truck, or throw away his tools
Cause he’ll sit at the bar, and drink like a fool!

I ran out the door and what do I see, my girl driving off and my tools flying free
My boss picked me up and took me to work, but thinking about Mae made me berserk
My truck is gone, I’m trying not to bawl and this beer ain’t doing any good at all
Treat your girl right, so she won’t split and she won’t take your truck and leave you with…..zip

Do Over
Woke up late, alarm clocked stopped and there’s no coffee in sight
I’ll get coffee on the way, I took a quick shower and got soap in my eyes
Can’t see very well, got to the door and noticed my shoes don’t match
Got myself together, made it to the car, wait what, was that a big scratch?

(chorus)
It’s one of those days and I’m ready to start over
I forgot my purse and my keys, really, oh brother
Had to get decaffeinated, hope I don’t commit murder
I want to go back and be a child and call a do over

When I got to work my boss wasn’t there, so I sat at my desk with a smile
She walked in soon after and to my surprise, looked like she walked for miles
Her left heel was broken, she had a limp and her hair was a sight to see
She went into her office and sat with a thud and a look that said why me

(chorus)
It’s one of those days and I’m ready to start over
I forgot my purse and my keys, really, oh brother
Had to get decaffeinated, hope I don’t commit murder
I want to go back and be a child and call a do over

By 5 o’clock, not a minute past, we were ready to get the hell out of there
She asked me if she could get a ride, we decided to get drinks and share
A little girl power, a glass of wine and a little bit of Tequila to slam
Woke up the next day, right on time, oh wait it’s Saturday, well damn

(chorus)
It’s one of those days and I’m ready to start over
I forgot my purse and my keys, really, oh brother
Had to get decaffeinated, hope I don’t commit murder
I want to go back and be a child and call a do over

Mystic
(chorus)
The magic of dreams is a beautiful expression of the hopes in a lifetime
At the end of the brilliant rainbow bridge, the answers you will find

Close your eyes and see the hopes, open your eyes and live the dreams
Unicorns full of purity and grace, fill my room with beauty and lace
With its simple horn of twisted gold, it wanders the land, carefree and bold

(chorus)
The magic of dreams is a beautiful expression of the hopes in a lifetime
At the end of the brilliant rainbow bridge, the answers you will find

This wild beast will always roam free, in the mystical land of mythology
The unicorn can be tamed, to the lap of a virgin maiden he came
Her virtue, by the unicorn will forever be protected, as her undying love endlessly be projected
But the freedom of unicorns is greatly admired, in the depth of my dreams and desires

(chorus)
The magic of dreams is a beautiful expression of the hopes in a lifetime
At the end of the brilliant rainbow bridge, the answers you will find
