In the suburbs, everything only looks shiny on the surface.

Lyrics:

That girl burned her whole life down,

Drowning from the inside out.

Fills her belly full of doubts,

Makes me wanna laugh out loud.

Baby, it’s a one horse town.

Can we just roll the windows down?

We’re the sum of the lost and found,

Makes me wanna scream and shout.

Small town suburbia,

What am I gonna do with ya?

I heard that he ran away,

Hitchhiking on the interstate.

Then he just disappeared one day;

Love notes in an empty grave.

“Sweetie, it’s a do or die.”

He makes the money and she’s outta sight

“I don’t think we have the time,

Gotta get to work by nine.”

Small town suburbia,

What am I gonna do with ya?

Remember that one kid in class?

Always failed and finished last,

Bruises underneath their clothes;

The demons are all they know.

Someone’s got a gun in school.

Lock the doors and windows, too.

Tell all of the kids to hide,

Say it’s gonna be all right.

Small town suburbia,

What am I gonna do with ya?

Everywhere you look there’s White—

The ones who say they’re "colorblind"—

But we all know that’s a lie.

No room in their hearts, just ice.

Kids can’t get anything right,

Drinking by the age of nine.

Teach them how to love, not fight...

Maybe if you have the time.

Small town suburbia

What am I gonna do with ya?
