In the suburbs, I I learned to drive
And you told me we’d never survive, grab your mother’s keys, we’re leaving
You always seemed so sure, that one day we’d be fighting
In 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 moving past the feeling
Sometimes I can’t believe it, I’m moving past the feeling
Again
The kids wanna be so hard, but in my dreams we’re still screaming
And running through the yard, when 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 nothing at all, meant nothing at all, it meant nothing
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 all this damage is done, but if it’s too much to ask
If 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 past, it’s already, already past
In my dreams We're still screaming
We’re still screaming We’re still screaming
