  In the suburbs, I 

  I learned to drive 

  And you told me we'd never survive 

  Grab your mother's keys, we're leaving 

  x--x--x--x x--x--x--x 

  x--x--x--x x--x--x--x 

  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

  S2:
  The kids want to be so hard 

  But in my dreams, we're still screaming 

  And running 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 nothing at all, meant nothing at all, it meant nothing

  Sometimes I can't believe it 

  I'm moving past the feeling and into the night

  S3:
  So can you understand  

  That I want a daughter  

  While I'm still young?  

  I want to hold her hand 

  And show her some beauty before 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 passed 

  It's already, already passed
