Lunchbox

Standing in the school yard throwing about our new frisbee

I don't know where we're going

I don't know who we'll be

Oh but you've got a bigger lunchbox than me


Bigger lunchbox, lunchbox than me

I bet you could fit a big sandwich

with cheese and pepperoni 

Bigger lunchbox, lunchbox than me

I can't help but notice your lunchbox is mighty


At our graduation picking up our degrees

I don't know where we're going

I don't know who we'll be

Oh but you've got a bigger lunchbox than me


Bigger lunchbox, lunchbox than me

I bet you could fit a big sandwich

with cheese and pepperoni 

Bigger lunchbox, lunchbox than me

I can't help but notice your lunchbox odyssey


In the estate agent's office picking up the new house key

I don't know where we're going

I don't know who we'll be

I can't but notice, and it's beginning to gnaw at me

How you've got a bigger lunchbox than me


Bigger lunchbox, lunchbox than me

I bet you could fit a big sandwich

with cheese and pepperoni 

Bigger lunchbox, lunchbox than me

I can't help but notice your lunchbox hanging free


In the hospital waiting room can't wait to see the new baby

I don't know where we're going

I don't know who we'll be

I just happened to look and find out what I see

how you've still got a bigger lunchbox than me


Bigger lunchbox, lunchbox than me

I bet you could fit a big sandwich

with cheese and pepperoni 

Bigger lunchbox, lunchbox than me

I can't but notice your lunchbox proximity


Sitting in the factory yard having a cup of tea

 I don't know where we're going

I don't know who we'll be

Oh but one thing that keeps on showing

Is that green eyed monster of envy

Yes you've got a bigger lunchbox than me


Bigger lunchbox, lunchbox than me

I bet you could fit a big sandwich

with cheese and pepperoni 

Bigger lunchbox, lunchbox than me

I can't help but notice your lunchbox's magnanimity


Lying in the graveyard nothing to worry about now we're free

 Still I don't know where we're going

Still I don't know who we'll be

I know we all were born equal and I love equality

Just how come, it might sound profound your mound 

looks like a mountain while mine's more molehill ground

Yes it seems you've still got a bigger lunchbox than me


Bigger lunchbox, lunchbox than me

I bet you could fit a big sandwich

with cheese and pepperoni 

Bigger lunchbox, lunchbox than me

I can't help but notice your lunchbox's indomitability
