We're About 9 - Big Green Box lyrics

there's a big green box at the top of the cul-de-sac used to have this whole town hypnotized glazed over eyes mesmerized by the sidewalk tiles a bright blue wind used to lift me away i drift off to the next planned community "where's the McDonalds?" somebody asked me politely but the golden arches were stripped away there's family businesses and lakefront cafes it almost makes me want to stay i see the trained suburban army heading this way i can feel you treading backwards through my veins there's a big green box at the top of the cul-de-sac a home base, target, jail, king of the mountain hill used to bring me power now it only brings me electricity the bike paths weave into long dark?parades the tot lot is free and the lifeguards get paid it almost makes me want to stay i see the trained suburban army heading this way i can feel you treading backwards through my veins i see the trained suburban army heading this way i can feel you treading backwards through my veins it cracks me up when my little neighbor will say there's nothing to do i say "sonny didn't you see the big green box at the top of the cul-de-sac?"
