This is such a powerful song, I've heard it compared to Stairway to Heaven because of it's intensity. I think this song is mocking the attitude that living in a housing complex where everything is the same and life is so easy is the highesIt acheivement we can make. I don't like the voice when he sings about all the houses having the same name and the other stuff, but that whole stanza has so much meaning. This is one of their best.
