I Hate the Suburbs

from My Socks Never Match by Electric Needle Room

/

lyrics

Hey look, it's new plain buildings
And freshly paved parking lots
SUV at the gas station
Next to a fresh new subdivision
Every where I turn
a strip mall
and billboards 15 feet tall

I hate the suburbs
But I can't escape them

Commute because
it's better out here
The trees are lined
in unison here
It's nice here
No crime to fight
But you can't go to the park at night
Everywhere I turn
there's no character
And everywhere I turn
it's homogenous

I hate the suburbs
But I can't escape them
It's the generic culture
And I am safe, but trapped
Please help me
Get me outta here
Get me outta here
Get me outta here
Get me outta here
Get me outta here
Get me outta here
