A Suburban Fate Lyrics by Slow Buildings

Embracing the Cold Margins

2017

{verse}
A lazy lawn chair, and a boss who’s off your back
An urgent phone call, and your nerve begins to crack
He’s got your time, and wants the hope still in your hands
Still there’s tomorrow, with your 90’s cover band
{pre-chorus}
And the years will fly ‘til you find
Buried in the back of your mind
{chorus}
Oh, you know you think it’s true
Yeah, you know you think it’s true
That you never will leave here
And when you say you’re through?
Well, you can say it
But you know that you never will leave here
You’re tangled up in blue
Yes, it’s true, look at you
Yes, it’s true you’re staying
Because you just want suburbia, don’t you?
You just know suburbia don’t you
{verse}
You’d like adventure, but if not then that’s alright
There’s always Tuesday, and the half-priced drinks all night
A dozen wings, and a mortgage on your plate
2.5 kids and 10-30 pounds overweight
{pre-chorus}
And the years will fly ‘til you find
Buried in the back of your mind
{chorus}
Oh, you know you think it’s true
Yeah, you know you think it’s true
That you never will leave here
And when you say you’re through?
Well, you can say it
But you know that you never will leave here
Oh, you know you think it’s true
Yeah, you know you think it’s true
That you never will leave here
And when you say you’re through?
Well, you can say it
But you know that you never will leave here
You’re tangled up in blue
Yes, it’s true, look at you
Yes, it’s true you’re staying
Because you just want suburbia, don’t you?
You just know suburbia don’t you
