lyrics

The suburbs are a symptom of a system going wrong
A system running strong
The place you don’t belong
The suburbs are a lesion in the season of disease
The rich live lives of ease
Dying by degrees

You bought the lie ‘n’ stepped inside the walls you always hated
Communities are gated
To keep us separated
The grass is green; the driveway’s clean; your conscience feels polluted
Your decency diluted
Your ethics been eluded

You lost your will to corporate swill, obedient consumer
Like a fucked-up baby boomer
You fester like a tumor
Ain’t it a shame you play the game where everyone’s a loser?
Environment abuser!
Another resource user!

Comfort’s not a crime but by the time you fucking find it
You more than get behind it
It rapes but you don’t mind it
What have you done? When you were young, you swore you wouldn’t have it
But you saw it then you grabbed it
Now it’s become a habit

They’re grinning now; they’re bragging how their stinking shit-pile glistens
but if you look and listen
you’ll only find division
You’ve got it all, now it’s your call on what to do about it
Get mad and shout about it!
‘Cause millions live without it

The suburbs are a symptom of a system going wrong
A system running strong
It can’t be strong for long
The suburbs are a lesion in the season of disease
The poor are on their knees
And dying by degrees
