Suburban Dream

Strolling through the plaza in the cool 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 CN 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
Suburban dream, suburban dream
