Suburban Dream

Suburban Dream - Martha and the Muffins

Strolling through the plaza

In the coal twilight

Sucking on a synthy shake

Hidden in the ambient fluorescent 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

Far away the C N 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 time

Making the suburban dream

Suburban dream it's really nice

Suburban dream take my advice

Suburban dream the only way

Suburban dream c'mon over today

Suburban dream suburban dream
