In the sense of economics, this song can represent the government suppressing its people and their ideas by putting them in a spot that strips their freedoms but poses as superior than other countries.
[Verse 1]: I was five years old and a city kid
But I treasured the farm where my
Grandpa lived
Got to spend a week that summer there
With the grass underfoot and the
Smell of the country air
By the pond one day throwing rocks at
The trees
Well I saw something move underneath
Some leaves
It was the first real frog I'd ever seen
Before
So I gathered him up in a box with a
Little door
So I could watch him some more
[Chorus]: I said woh, woh, woh, woh, woh, woh, woh
A frog in a box and I won't let him go
Woh, woh, woh, woh, woh, woh, woh
A frog in a box and I won't let him go
[Verse 2]: Well I took him home, kept him under my
Bed
Gave him water to drink and made sure
He was fed
But he never did much and I didn't know
Why
There were times that he seemed more
Dead than he seemed alive
Then a friend asked what was in the box
One day
When I told him a frog, well he wanted
To play
He cried lets get him out, let's see if he
Hops
But I told him the frog had to stay in
The little box
[Chorus]: I said woh, woh, woh, woh, woh, woh, woh
A frog in a box and I won't let him go
Woh, woh, woh, woh, woh, woh, woh
A frog in a box and I won't let him go
[Verse 3]: Well my friend looked like he'd gone
Into shock
He said why have you kept the poor
Frog in the box
Have you watched him jump have you
Seen him swim
Let him out and you'll see all the things
You can do with him
I said oh no, my frog can't do any of that
He just sits in the box eating bugs
Getting fat
And before I could say any more
Well my friend grabbed the box and he
Opened the door
And it fell to the floor and I couldn't
Ignore
What was happening before my eyes-I
Was quite surprised
[Chorus 2]: He got outta that box, he got outta
That box
He got outta that box and started
Hopping around
He got outta that box and he jumped up
And down
He got outta that box and he swam and
He croaked
He got outta that box-he eve did the
Backstroke
He got outta that box, ooh outta that
Box
[Verse 4]: I knew the fuss couldn't be good for
His health
Quite a miracle he didn't hurt himself
So I stuck him in the box back under the
Bed
And in less than a week well the poor
Little thing was dead
He must have hit his poor little head
[Chorus (fade out)]: I said woh, woh, woh, woh, woh, woh, woh
A frog in a box and I won't let him go
Woh, woh, woh, woh, woh, woh, woh
A frog in a box and I won't let him go
