Suburbia

Why you gotta go on

Stealing all my friends

You'll never pull me in

Suburbia

What made you think you're better

And do you ever tire

Puppeteering all those lives?

Sorry, yesterday, I had to drive up in your cul-de-sac

I much regret it, don't worry, I won't be coming back

And my apologies are sin if I embarrassed the neighbors

Sorry, but I'm not as rich as you and no, I can't afford

Three cars in the driveway and then time to get bored

So, telling me my car is loud, you're not doing a favor

Your children stare at me

But they're not prepared to be outside

Your screened-in porcelain community

And I will live to be just like you

Difficult and frightened, enlightened to love your kind

They'll never live off TV dinners

Know what it means to suffer with their silver-plated eyes

So what? Am I sorry? But I did not grow up with a TV in my room

And my first trip to Disneyland, well, I was 22

A shame you don't believe in yard sales, I, I would have bought from you

Sorry, but my tooth fairy wasn't dropping 20's

We were happy with our peppermints and pennies

But you would not understand this your, your joy's in winning

You don't know how it feels

Drinking tap water at every meal

I hear you swear if it's not bottled

And I will live to be just like you

Difficult and frightened, enlightened to love your kind

They'll never live off TV dinners

Know what it means to suffer with their silver-plated eyes

And we'll never live off TV dinners

And we'll never know what it means, what it means to suffer

Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh, oh, oh

And they will live and they will breed

And they will be just like you, with silver-plated eyes

So what am I? So what am I? So what am I?

Suburbia

Why you gotta go on

Stealing all my friends

You'll never pull me in, no, no
