Its a typical situation in these typical times
Too many choices, hey yeah
Its a typical situation in these typical times
Too many choices
Everybody's happy everybody's free
We'll keep the big door open, everyone'll come around
Why are you different, why are you that way
If you don't get in line we'll lock you away,
Aw everybody's happy everybody's free
We'll keep the big door open, everyone'll come around
Why are you different, why are you that way
If you don't get in line we'll lock you away

Why, yes, I believe I have seen a scene like this on occasion, too.
Yes - a familiar scene. I took a photo of the Starbucks up on the 30th floor of the tallest building in Seattle. I love that location.
The last line of the poem makes me believe that the poet is of German or Italian origin. I remember 1st time we went to movies in Switzerland, the crowd was just milling about at the enterance and when the doors opened they just started walking in all at once. Even though I grew up with no queue mentality in the early age, I was so surprised that the orderly Swiss did not form lines.
A thought provoking post, Kim.
Oh those regulated Swiss! Who would have thunk it possible of them! Fun to know, Tash. These are the lyrics to a song written by Dave Matthews, who grew up in South Africa and Virginia, and now lives here in Seattle. The folks in line are trying to decide what cupcake variety to order at Cupcake Royale, which just opened its 4th location last week. . .their 1st outside Seattle, in the Eastide suburb of Bellevue in an old International House of Pancakes building. I doubt the customers there look like these in Ballard, but will queue up in just the same way :-).
