Inside the Little Plastic Castle

Thanks to MetaFilter, here's a clever tune addressing the enduring question in the minds of over-60s: Where is my flying car?

So it's the new millennium. Where's my vacation on the moon?
There's still no cure for cancer and I don’t think we;ll get one soon
We know that power corrupts; our leaders are as nasty as they come
This is no global village—we're living in a global slum

Sadly couldn’t find a live link to the composer and performer, Allison Lonsdale -- have you seen her perform at a con?

content note: deep pessimism, all the terrible things as of 2003.

In the cut: YouTube performance and lyrics.
