Suburbia

Song Lyrics

Suburbia

This was a favourite with Unschooled Ruffians - influenced to a degree by new music, it reflects a society that is taken up with living and missing out on the real meaning of life. There's a bit of a musical and lyrical twist at the end too.

Living is so easy in suburbia,

Luxury is just another name of the game,

See the action replay on you video machine,

However many times you see it, it’s always the same.

Suburbia,

Where the living is easy,

Suburbia,

But you never thought what your life is all about,

You kid yourself that you’re content with what you’ve got,

Deep inside you know that there is something not right,

You need the light!

Dad goes off to work on the Seven Fifteen,

Takes the train that gets him to the city,

Comes back home at six to join the family,

For another cosy evening round the colour TV.

Suburbia…

Instrumental

But you never thought…

Problems come and go but you manage to cope,

Leave the world behind you as you close the door,

Seems as though you’ve found yourself a purpose to life,

But what if someone told you that there’s so much more.

There’s a man knocking at the door,

Can’t you hear, can’t you hear,

And he’s holding out a gift for you,

Don’t you care, don’t you care,

What you’re missing.

Suburbia,

Where the living is easy,

Suburbia,

Where the dying is easy,

Suburbia.
