Diction in No Doubt"Brand new day"

At the end of the day you are worn out, you are
worn out, and too tired to sleep
But then you do dream of wonderful things
That you might do, right on through to the next
day

And then you wake up
The sun's on your face
You're stretchin' while you're sayin
'It's a Brand New Day!


It's a brand new day and the sky is clear
So let's come together, everybody cheer
Come out people from everywhere
Let's see your faces, the day we'll share
Come on and celebrate a Brand New Day
Everyday!


Call out to the workers and the children in the
schools
It's a day of celebration so put down your tool
sand
Celebrate a Brand New Day Everyday!
Come see the mountains and come see the
shores

Mother nature is calling so come climb aboard
andCelebrate a Brand New Day Everyday!
Let's go
At the end of the day there is no doubt you are
worn out

Ooh but then you do dream of wonderful things
Wonderful things you might do
And then you wake up
The sun's on your face You're stretchin' while you're sayin
'It's a Brand New Day!

Celebrate a Brand New Day, Everyday!
Celebrate a Brand New Day, Everyday!


"Trapped in a box"

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

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

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

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


Always wanting a different view
Instant gratification for you
Reality gone with a single click
Just hope that that switch won't stick
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


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


Ooh trapped in a box
Watch the world as it flocks
To life's paradox
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
