Suburban War

Lyrics

Let's go for a drive
 And see the town tonight
 There's nothing to do
 But I don't mind when I'm with you
 ♪
 This town's so strange
 They built it to change
 And while we sleep
 We know the streets get rearranged
 With my old friends
 It was so different then
 Before your war
 Against the suburbs began
 Before it began
 Now the music divides us into tribes
 You grew your hair
 So I grew mine
 You said the past won't rest
 Until we jump the fence and leave it behind
 With my old friends
 I can remember when
 You cut your hair
 I never saw you again
 Now the cities we live in
 Could be distant stars
 And I search for you
 In every passing car
 ♪
 The night's so long...
 Yeah, the night's so long
 I've been living in the shadows of your song
 Been living in the shadows of your song
 ♪
 In the suburbs I
 I learned to drive
 And you told me we'd would never survive
 So grab your mother's keys we leave tonight
 But you started a war
 That we can't win
 They keep erasing all the streets we grew up in
 Now the music divides us into tribes
 You choose your side
 I'll choose my side
 ♪
 All my old friends
 They don't know me now
 ♪
 All my old friends
 Are staring through me now
 All my old friends
 They don't know me now
 ♪
 All my old friends
 They don't know me now
 ♪
 All my old friends wait
