Life in the 'Burbs

Instrumental [Verse] Concrete jungle cold nights no sleep Hustle in the shadows jagged roads run deep Neighbors see the struggle can’t find no peace Trying to find a way out pieces won’t fit [Verse 2] Empty pockets grumbling stomach fights Streetlights flicker hopes dim in twilight Tattered dreams torn in the nighttime Grinding each day stuck in a tight bind [Chorus] Life in the 'burbs where the dreams fade away Each dawn a battle every night we pray Walking through the fire til we greet the day Holdin on to hope but the skies stay gray [Verse 3] Boys on the corner looking for some payday Moms working doubles just to find some ways Dodging all the pitfalls can't catch a break Living on a knife’s edge hearts might break [Bridge] Keep our heads high swallowing the pain Concrete memories blood in the rain Echoes of the past keep calling our name But we fight on through the loss and the gain [Chorus] Life in the 'burbs where the dreams fade away Each dawn a battle every night we pray Walking through the fire til we greet the day Holdin on to hope but the skies stay gray [End]
