The Suburbs

In the suburbs I
 I learned to drive
 And you told me we'd never survive
 Grab your mother's keys we're leavin'
 ♪
 You always seemed so sure
 That one day we'd be fighting
 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 movin' past the feeling
 Sometimes I can't believe it
 I'm movin' past the feeling again
 ♪
 Kids wanna be so hard
 But in my dreams we're still screamin' and runnin' through the yard
 And all of the walls that they built in the seventies finally fall
 And all of the houses they built in the seventies finally fall
 Meant nothin' at all
 Meant nothin' at all
 It meant nothin
 Sometimes I can't believe it
 I'm movin' past the feeling
 Sometimes I can't believe it
 I'm movin' past the feeling and into the night
 ♪
 So can you understand?
 Why I want a daughter while I'm still young
 I wanna hold her hand
 And show her some beauty
 Before this damage is done
 But if it's too much to ask, 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 passed
 So move your feet from hot pavement and into the grass
 Cause it's already passed
 It's already, already passed!
 Sometimes I can't believe it
 I'm movin' past the feeling
 Sometimes I can't believe it
 I'm movin' past the feeling again
 Sometimes I can't believe it
 I'm movin' past the feeling
 Sometimes I can't believe it
 I'm movin' past the feeling again
