Suburbia

Suburbia

where the suburbs met utopia

where the suburbs met utopia

Lost in the high street, where the dogs run

Roaming suburban boys

Mother's got her hair do to be done

She says they're too old for toys

Stood by the bus stop with a felt pen

In this suburban hell

And in the distance a police car

To break the suburban spell

Let's take a ride

And run with the dogs tonight in suburbia

You can't hide/run with the dogs tonight

In suburbia

Break the window by the town hall

Listen! a siren screams

There in the distance like a roll call

Of all the suburban dreams

Let's take a ride

And run with the dogs tonight

In suburbia

You can't hide

Run with the dogs tonight

In suburbia

I only wanted something else to do but hang around

I only wanted something else to do but hang around

It's on the front page of the papers

This is their hour of need

Where's a policeman when you need one

To blame the colour tv?

Let's take a ride

And run with the dogs tonight

In suburbia

You can't hide

Run with the dogs tonight

In suburbia

Suburbia

where the suburbs met utopia

What kind of dream was this

so easy to destroy?

And who are we to blame

for the sins of the past?

These slums of the future?
