Suburbia

(album: Art Vandelay - 2013)

When I was younger you said to me
Love songs are for lovers
And not for you
So go and write the world the blues

So as I sit down with a pen in my hand
A heart was killed and became a broken man
And I knew
I gotta get out of here too

The city lights are calling me
And I am not afraid
The streets are paved with heroes
And they're calling out my name

So baby let me run away
I'll make my own destiny
'Cause this town is killing me
Silently tonight

And baby you can tell it's strange
I'm the boy who got away
'Cause this town will murder us
Forget your boyfriend
Fuck suburbia

When I was younger you said to me
A white picket fence and a well-groomed man is right
Now go and find yourself a wife

And in all of the cities in all of the world
Will borrow the money and all of the girls
In the night
Cannot get you off my mind

The highway lights are broken
Like we're one step closer to God
I live for words I've spoken
And I hate them just because

So baby let me run away
I'll make my own destiny
'Cause this town is killing me
Silently tonight

And baby you can tell it's strange
I'm the boy who got away
'Cause this town will murder us
Forget your boyfriend
Fuck suburbia

So baby let me run away
I'll make my own destiny
'Cause this town is killing me
Silently tonight

And baby you can tell it's strange
I'm the boy who got away
'Cause this town will murder us
Forget your boyfriend
Fuck suburbia

Fuck suburbia
Fuck suburbia
