The Suburbs (Arcade Fire cover)

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 want to be so hard

But in my dreams we're still running

And screaming through the yard

When all of the walls that they built in the 70's finally fall

And all of the houses they built in the 70's finally fall

Meant nothing at all,

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 into the night

So can you understand

Why I want a daughter while I'm still young?

I want to 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 past

So move your feet from hot pavement

And onto 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 screaming

In my dreams we're still screaming

In my dreams we're still screaming
