Suburban Nightmare Lyrics


Dark streets of a suburban nightmare

Barred windows and buildings defiled

Everything I see here is so far from

The neighborhood I knew as a child

Can’t believe how things have changed

Can’t believe how things turned out

But now I can’t even believe how they used to be

Our society changed over night

To this totalitarian regime

It is hard to remember the past

But it must’ve been different, it seems

Can’t believe how things have changed

Can’t believe how things turned out

But now I can’t even believe how they used to be

I know, I have seen all this before

In the pages of “1984”

Now I dread what tomorrow may have in store

Our world, turned so very cold

And wherever you go; you’re in their hold

We were sold a dream and fed the machine our souls

And wherever you go; you’re in their hold

We were sold a dream and fed the machine our souls

They keep watching every move you make

They remember all the numbers you’ve dialed

Every word you write or photo you take

Is systematically catalogued and filed

And wherever you go; you’re in their hold

We were sold a dream and fed the machine our souls

And wherever you go; you’re in their hold

We were sold a dream and fed the machine our souls
