Side streets and the summer heat
The wolves run fast when the boredom breeds
Latchkey you gotta come clean
Mission impossible at seventeen
As a perfect world turns
Major malfunction in the heart of the concerned
Another no name on the failure freeway
Who`s to blame, mother says it`s a phase
Somewhere down in suburbia it ain`t right
Somewhere down in suburbia it ain`t right
Somewhere down in suburbia it ain`t right
Somewhere down in suburbia it ain`t right
No it ain`t right
Dead-ends scream a teenage warning
Opportunities not even knocking
Learn to drown if you can`t swim
Drop out if you can`t drop in
And when lessons don`t get learned
The dysfunctional, discouraged voices go unheard
Another closed door means more losers
The desperate youth stumbles down the avenue
Somewhere down in suburbia it ain`t right
Somewhere down in suburbia it ain`t right
Somewhere down in suburbia it ain`t right
Somewhere down in suburbia it ain`t right
No it ain`t right
Nowhere to go and nothing to do tonight
Dysfunctional, unintentional
Perpetual cycle been around you
Come after you
There`s nothing nobody relly wants to do
Oh, the wolves cry tonight
Out on the streets tonight
