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
Sometimes I can't believe it I'm moving past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it I'm moving past the feeling and into the night
So can you understand why I want a daughter while I'm still young
I want to 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
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
I'm moving past the feeling again I'm moving past the feeling again
In my dreams we're still screaming, we're still screaming, we're still screaming
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
Sometimes I can't believe it I'm moving past the feeling
