NEW LIFE FOR OLD SONGS
Part One
* * *
Little boxes on the desktop
Little boxes made of ticky tacky
Little boxes, little boxes
Little boxes, all the same
There’s a black one and a beige one
And an indigo and a ruby one
And they’re all made out of ticky tacky
And basically do the same
And the people with the boxes
All went to the university
And they all bought their boxes
With a maxed credit card
And there’s doctors and there’s lawyers
And Internet executives
And they all check AmeriTrade
To see if they’re broke
And they all play on the boxes
And drink their soy latté hot
And they’re full of ambitions
And hope they’re still cool
And the children read the manuals
And like instant messaging
And they all want newer boxes
Newer boxes, all the time
And the boys crunch the numbers
And the girls provide content
And they’re all made out of ticky tacky
And they all phone their mom
