Little plain cars on the car lots,
Little plain cars  made of  status quo-a-stuff
Little plain cars on the high-a-ways,
Little plain cars all the same,
There's a black one and a brown one
And a blue one and a red one
And they're all made out of status quo-a-stuff
And they all look just the same.

And the people in the plain cars
All went to the university
Where they were put in plain cars
And they came out all the same
And there's doctors and lawyers
And street rod-od-ers
And they're all made out of status quo-a-stuff
And they all look just the same.

And they all play on the golf course
And drink their hand-crafted beer
And they all have pretty children
And the children go to school,
And the children go to summer camp
And then to the university
Where they are all  put in plain cars
And they drive out all the same.

And the boys go into business
And marry and raise a family
Drive in  plain cars made of status quo-a-stuff
And they all look just the same,
There's a green one and a grey one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of status quo-a-stuff
And they all look just the same.

But the one child  he’s an ar-tist
And knows that his freedom’s real
Tired of plain cars made of status quo-a-stuff
That all look just the same,
Now there’s glued ones and there are painted ones
And a carved one and a magnet one
And they’re all made out of  joy and smiles
And they all are all the rage!

(alt last verse or add on - And they all the world will change!)
