I bet the 60's are gonna happen again.
Same shit that went down in the 50's is going down again. I hear Pete Seeger in my head:

Little boxes on the hillside
Little boxes made of ticky tacky
Little boxes
Little boxes
Little boxes all the same
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same

And the people in the houses all go to the university
And they all get put in boxes, little boxes all the same
And there's doctors and there's lawyers
And business executives
And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same
And they all play on the golf course and drink their martini dry
And they all have pretty children and the children go to school
And the children go to summer camp
And then to the university
And they all get put in boxes, and they all come out the same
And the boys go into business and marry and raise a family
And they all get put in boxes, little boxes all the same

There's a green one, and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same

1. In music class when I was little...
I'd yell for us to sing that song every day. I sounded like a redneck at a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert. :D

"LITTLE BOXES!!!" *waves lighter*

4. Yes, like I got Dylan before I got him.
I know exactly what you mean.

5. I'd be happy just for the '90s to happen again...
I sure didn't appreciate them while they were happening but now it seems like utopia.
