SUBURBAN DREAM
Martha & The Muffins
Strolling through the plaza in the coal twilight, Sucking on a synthi
shake. Hidden in the ambient, florescent night, High school boys are
on the make.
Muscle cars are floating down the treeless streets, Blaring
heavy-metal radio, Slimy Burger chateaux everywhere I turn, Basking in
a neon glow.
Faraway the CN Tower silhouette Flashing through the downtown haze,
Thinking 'bout pollution puts me in a sweat, The price the
city-dweller pays!
Suburban Dream -- You won't get mugged. Suburban Dream -- No cockroach
bugs. Suburban Dream -- It's really true Suburban Dream -- Everybody's
like you!
The Smiths have bought a swimming pool for twenty grand, The Jones'
eldest son has caught the flu, Cindy, in a search for love got
pregnant and Her parents are discussing what to do.
Talking 'bout the weather to the guy next door, Hanging out in modern
bars, Hockey Night in Canada is such a bore Since the old man bought a
brand new car.
Who needs the city's rotting culture, rising crime? Here the air is
squeaky clean, Television living takes up all my tine, Making the
suburban dream.
Suburban Dream -- It's really nice. Suburban Dream -- Take ay advice.
Suburban Dream -- The only way. Suburban Dream -- C'mon over today.
