Sprawling on the fringes of the city In geometric order An insulated border
In-between the bright lights And the far, unlit unknown
Growing up, it all seems so one-sided Opinions all provided The future pre-decided Detached and subdivided In the mass-production zone
Nowhere is the dreamer Or the misfit so alone
Subdivisions In the high school halls In the shopping malls Conform or be cast out Subdivisions In the basement bars In the backs of cars Be cool or be cast out
Any escape might help to smooth The unattractive truth But the suburbs have no charms to soothe The restless dreams of youth
