Lost in the high street, where the dogs run
Roaming suburban boys
Mother's got her hair do to be done
She says they're too old for toys

Stood by the bus stop with a felt pen
In this suburban hell
And in the distance a police car
To break the suburban spell

Let's take a ride
And run with the dogs tonight in suburbia
You can't hide/Run with the dogs
tonight in suburbia

Break the window by the town hall
Listen! A siren screams
There in the distance like a roll call
Of all the suburban dreams

Let's take a ride
And run with the dogs tonight in suburbia
You can't hide run with the dogs
Tonight in suburbia

I only wanted something else to do but hang around
I only wanted something else to do but hang around

It's on the front page of the papers
This is their hour of need
Where's a policeman when you need one
To blame the colour Tv?

Let's take a ride
And run with the dogs tonight in suburbia
You can't hide run with the dogs
Tonight in suburbia
Suburbia

Where the suburbs met utopia
What kind of dream was this?
So easy to destroy?
Man who are were to blame
For the sins of the past?
These slums of the future?
Suburbia
Where the suburbs met utopia
Suburbia
Where the suburbs met utopia
