The Suburbs

In the suburbs, I     I learned to drive

And you told me we’d never survive,

Grab your mother’s keys, we’re leaving

You always seemed so sure,

that one day we’d be fighting In a suburban war,

Your part of town against mine

I saw you standing on the opposite shore,

but by the time the first bombs fell

We were already bored,

we were already, already bored

Sometimes I can’t believe it,

I’m moving past the feeling

Sometimes I can’t believe it,

I’m moving past the feeling

Again

The kids wanna be so hard,

but in my dreams we’re still screaming

And running through the yard,

when all of the walls that they built In the seventies finally fall,

and all of the houses they built In the seventies finally fall,

meant nothing at all, it meant nothing

Sometimes I can’t believe it,

I’m moving past the feeling

Sometimes I can’t believe it,

I’m moving past the feeling

And into the night

So can you understand,

why I want a daughter While I’m still young,

I wanna hold her hand

and show her some beauty before all this damage is done,

but if it’s too much to ask If it’s too much to ask,

then send me a son

Under the overpass,

In the parking lot we’re still waiting It’s already passed,

So move your feet from hot pavement And into the grass,

’cause it’s already past, it’s already, already past

Sometimes I can’t believe it,

I’m moving past the feeling

Sometimes I can’t believe it,

I’m moving past the feeling

Again,     I’m moving past the feeling

I’m moving past the feeling

In my dreams

We’re still screami  ng

We’re still screami  ng

We’re still screami  ng
