Even the folk movement had it's cookie-cutter element. Maybe it attempts to clean house by speaking to them selves as well.
Then too the inner city attitude had it's own reason and place :
"During the 1950's and 1960's, Urban decline and the lack of construction of new affordable inner city housing led to increased
activity on the part of tenants to organize in the hope of halting evictions and to plan rent strikes. Tenants' movements emerged
in various U.S. cities. In this song Malvina Reynolds shows how dripping faucets, landlord greed, tenant suffering, rent control
laws, and dry reservoirs are all part of a single system. The New York Times reported on 29 July 1964 that "water leaks in one out
of every six apartments in New York City."
