Suburban Homesick Blues

Saw an old friend, yeah just the other day

Went to his house, got lost along the way

Should've known better than to venture out that side of town

It's been a while since we had last talked

Knew things would change, but not the way I thought

It's funny how priorities change when you walk across the rail

Lost

I'm feeling lost

I'm feeling lost in the suburbs again

I gotta find my way out now

Driving home my hands upon the wheel

Driving in circles, more than how I feel

Got that funny feeling that I've been here once before

Every house, yeah they all look the same

Streets all alike, just different by the name

And I know it's true, 'cause I've seen it through the core

Mediocracy: just the status quo

But ya know, it's not the way to go

Conformity traps you in like a herd behind a wire

Some people flee, I'd rather face the storm

They run to the hills, for sheep it's just the norm

But I'd rather burn, than to never feel the fire.
