Dont Box Me In
By: JOSEPHIN
Description
This song's for anyone who's ever been stereotyped, stigmatized or discriminated against, judged by their race/sex/age/life style/anyone who’s ever felt BOXED IN. My R’n’R band is loud & my songs are arena style anthems. But somehow we were always booked with these folksy, quirky, whimsical female fronted bands. But my roar will break through all the walls put in my professional way with courage, persistence AND AN AGAINST ALL ODDS ATTITUDE!!!
Lyrics
DON’T BOX ME IN- Josephin Shlomit Madden I was the new kid on the block again (I) was sick of being lonely (I was) sick of pain Today I get to play my favorite clubs But yesterday all I got is labeled and snubbed Hey! Hey! Hey! I was a caged lion in sheep’s skin For years I had to hold my roar within I hate the social calls that shout the calls The narrow-minded and the prejudice are walls! Rawwwww.. <Chorus> Don’t box me in! Don’t box me in! Brothers- follow me and sing! Don’t box me in! Don’t box me in! Sisters- follow me and sing! Don’t box me in! Don’t box me in! Brothers- follow me and sing! Don’t box me in! Don’t box me in! I ‘m breaking through the labeling!!! <Chorus #2> And my voice is finally heard! Yeah my voice is finally heard! My roar will ring around the world Defy prevail- believe the words! Defy prevail- against all (BREAK) odds.. Back in the schoolyard days it was a treat Boys and girls marched behind me to the beat We had a blast belting my songs, we did But childhood ended, now it’s war to take the lead Hey! Hey! Hey! It doesn’t matter what I have to bring To you I’m type X, Y so I will sing Don’t box me in or wave your big red flags I am a fighter I will tear your tinted tags Rawwwww.. <Chorus #1> Don’t box me in! Don’t box me in! .. <Chorus #2> And my voice is finally heard! So stick your stigma up your pigeonhole You bang your rocks Neanderthal Your stereotypes are getting old I’ll Sonic bomb ‘em once and for all! (I’ll) Sonic bomb ‘em once and for all! So judge me like an individual Not a girl! An individual! My voice will break through any wall ‘Cause in my chest a lion whirls Yeah in my chest a lion <Chorus #1> Don’t box me in! Don’t box me in! .. <Chorus #2> And my voice is finally heard!.. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 2009 JOSEPHIN SHLOMIT LYONS-MADDEN
