In the suburbs I
I learned to drive And you told me we'd never survive Grab your mother's keys we're leavin' You always seemed so sure That one day we'd fight in In a suburban world your part of town gets minor So you're standin' on the opposite shore But by the time the first bombs fell We were already bored We were already, already bored Sometimes I can't believe it I'm movin' past the feeling Sometimes I can't believe it I'm movin' past the feeling again Kids wanna be so hard But in my dreams we're still screamin' and runnin' through the yard And all of the walls that they built in the seventies finally fall And all of the houses they build in the seventies finally fall Meant nothin' at all Meant nothin' at all It meant nothin Sometimes I can't believe it I'm movin' past the feeling Sometimes I can't believe it I'm movin' past the feeling and into the night So can you understand? Why I want a daughter while I'm still young I wanna hold her hand And show her some beauty Before this damage is done But if it's too much to ask, it's too much to ask Then send me a son Under the overpass In the parking lot we're still waiting It's already passed So move your feet from hot pavement and into the grass Cause it's already passed It's already, already passed! Sometimes I can't believe it I'm movin' past the feeling Sometimes I can't believe it I'm movin' past the feeling again I'm movin' past the feeling I'm movin' past the feeling In my dreams we're still screamin' We're still screamin' We're still screamin' |

If the businessmen drink my blood
Like the kids in art school said they would Then I guess I'll just begin again You say:"Can we still be friends?" If I was scared, I would And if I was bored, you know I would And if I was yours But I'm not All the kids have always known That the emperor wears no clothes But they bow down to him anyway 'Cause it's better than being alone If I was scared, I would And if I was bored, you know I would And if I was yours But I'm not Now you're knocking at my door Saying: "Please come out with us tonight!" But I would rather be alone Than pretend I feel alright If the businessmen drink my blood Like the kids in art school said they would Then I guess I'll just begin again You say:"Can we still be friends?" If I was scared, I would And if I was pure, you know I would And if I was yours But I'm not Now I'm ready to start Now I'm ready to start I would rather be wrong Than live in the shadows of your song My mind is open wide And now I'm ready to start Now I'm ready to start My mind is open wide And now I'm ready to start You're not sure, you open the door And step out into the dark Now I'm ready |

"Modern Man"
So I wait my turn, I'm a modern man And the people behind me, they can't understand Makes me feel like Makes me feel like So I wait in line, I'm a modern man And the people behind me, they can't understand Makes me feel like Something don't feel right Like a record that's skipping I'm a modern man And the clock keeps ticking I'm a modern man Makes me feel like Makes me feel like In my dream I was almost there Then you pulled me aside and said you're going nowhere They say we are the chosen few But we're wasted And that's why we're still waiting On a number from the modern man Maybe when you're older you will understand Why you don't feel right Why you can't sleep at night now In line for a number but you don't understand Like a modern man In line for a number but you don't understand Like a modern man Oh I had a dream I was dreaming And I feel I'm losing the feeling Makes me feel like Like something don't feel right I erase the number of the modern man Want to break the mirror of the modern man Makes me feel like Makes me feel like In my dream I was almost there Then you pulled me aside and said you're going nowhere I know we are the chosen few But we're wasted And that's why we're still waiting In line for a number but you don't understand Like a modern man In like for a number but you don't understand Like a modern man And you feel so right But how come you can't sleep at night? In line for a number but you don't understand Like a modern man I'm a modern man I'm a modern man I'm a modern man I'm a modern man |

Let's go downtown and watch the modern kids
Let's go downtown and talk to the modern kids They will eat right out of your hand Using great big words that they don't understand They say Rococo, rococo, rococo, rococo Rococo, rococo, rococo, rococo They build it up just to burn it back down They build it up just to burn it back down The wind is blowing all the ashes around Oh my dear god what is that horrible song they're singing Rococo, rococo, rococo, rococo Rococo, rococo, rococo, rococo Rococo, rococo, rococo, rococo Rococo, rococo, rococo, rococo Rococo, rococo! Rococo! They seem wild but they are so tame They seem wild but they are so tame They're moving towards you with their colors all the same They want to own you but they don't know what game they're playing Rococo, rococo, rococo, rococo Rococo! Rococo! (Rococo) (Rococo) Rococo! Rococo! (Rococo) (Rococo) Rococo! |

"Empty Room"
Searching in, in an empty room Searching in, in an empty room Something I would never do Searching in, in an empty room Searching in, in an empty room Something I would never do I'm alone again When I'm by myself I can be myself When my life is calm But I don't know when You're burning out, you're black and gray You're burning out, you're black and gray Something I would never say I'm alone again When I'm by myself I can be myself When my life is calm But I don't know when Toute ma vie, etre avec toi Toute ma vie, etre avec toi Moi j'attends, toi tu pars Toute ma vie, etre avec toi Toute ma vie, etre avec toi Moi j'attends, toi tu pars |

"City With No Children"
The summer that I broke my arm I waited for your letter I have no feeling for you now Now that I know you better I wish that I could have loved you then Before our age was through And before a world war does with us whatever it will do Dreamed I drove home to Houston On a highway that was underground There was no light that we could see As we listened to the sound of the engine failing I feel like I've been living in A city with no children in it A garden left for ruin by a billionaire inside of a private prison You never trust a millionaire quoting the sermon on the mount I used to think I was not like them but I'm beginning to have my doubts My doubts about it When you're hiding underground The rain can't get you wet But do you think your righteousness could pay the interest on your debt? I have my doubts about it I feel like I've been living in A city with no children in it A garden left for ruin by a billionaire inside of a private prison I feel like I've been living in A city with no children in it A garden left for ruin by and by as I hide inside of my private prison |

Let's go for a drive
See the town tonight There's nothing to do but I'll unwind when I'm with you This town's so strange They built it to change And while we're sleeping all the streets, they rearrange And my old friends, we were so different then Before your war against the suburbs began Before it began And now the music divides Us into tribes You grew your hair so I grew mine They said the past won't rest Until we jump the fence and leave it behind And my old friends, I can remember when You cut your hair We never saw you again Now the cities we live in Could be distant stars And I search for you In every passing car The nights are warm Yeah, the nights are warm I've been living in the shadows of your song Living in the shadows of your Song In the suburbs I, I learned to drive People told me we would never survive So grab your mother's keys we leave tonight You started a war That you can't win They keep erasing all the streets we grew up in Now the music divides Us into tribes You choose your side I'll choose my side All my old friends, they don't know me now Oh-oh All my old friends, are staring through me now Oh-oh All my old friends, they don't know me now All my old friends, they don't know me now All my old friends, wait |

One two three four!
Gonna make a record in the month of May In the month of May, in the month of May Gonna make a record in the month of May When the violent wind blows the wires away Month of May, it's a violent thing In the city their hearts start to sing Well, some people singing sounds like screaming Used to doubt it but now I believe it Month of May, everybody sing love In the city, watch it from above And just when I knew what I wanted to say The violent wind blew the wires away (We were shocked in the suburbs) Now the kids are all standing with their arms folded tight The kids are all standing with their arms folded tight Now, some things are pure and some things are right But the kids are still standing with their arms folded tight I said some things are pure and some things are right But the kids are still standing with their arms folded tight So young, so young So much pain for someone so young, well I know it's heavy, I know it ain't light But how you gonna lift it with your arms folded tight? First the built the road, then they built the town That's why I'm still driving around And around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around Two-thousand nine, two-thousand ten Wanna make a record how I felt then When we stood outside in the month of May And watched a violent wind blow the wires away If I die in the month of May Let the wind take my body away, yeah I wish I may, I wish I might Don't leave me down there with my arms folded tight Start again in the month of May Start again in the month of May Come on and blow the wires away Come on and blow the wires away Start again in the month of May Start again in the month of May Come on and blow the wires away Come on and blow the wires away Start again in the month of May Start again in the month of May Come on and blow the wires away Come on and blow the wires, the wires away |

All those wasted hours we used to know
Spent the summer staring out the window The wind it takes you where it wants to go First they built the road, then they built the town That's why we're still driving round and round And all we see Are kids in buses longing to be free Wasted hours, before we knew Where to go, and what to do Wasted hours, that you made new And turned into A life that we can live Some cities make you lose your head Endless suburbs stretched out thin and dead And what was that line you said Wishing you were anywhere but here You watch the life you're living disappear And now I see We're still kids in buses longing to be free Wasted hours, before we knew Where to go, and what to do Wasted hours, that you made new And turned into A life that we can live |

Here
Are my place and time And here in my own skin I can finally begin Let the century pass me by Standing under night sky Tomorrow means nothing I was only a child then Feeling barely alive when I heard a song from the speaker of a passing car And prayed to a dying star The memory's fading I can almost remember singing la, la la, la la la la La la, la la, la la la la We watched the end of the century Compressed on a tiny screen A dead star collapsing and we could see That something was ending Are you through pretending We saw its signs in the suburbs You could never have predicted That he could see through you Kasparov, Deep Blue, nineteen-ninety six Your mind's pulling tricks now The show is over so take a bow We're living in the shadows la, la la, la la la la La la, la la, la la la la La la, la la, la la la la La la, la la, la la la la La la, la la, la la la la La la, la la, la la la la Hey Put the cellphone down for a while In the night there is something wild Can you hear it breathing? And hey Put the laptop down for a while In the night there is something wild I feel it, it's leaving me La la, la la, la la la la La la, la la, la la la la La la, la la, la la la la La la, la la, la la la la |

I used to write
I used to write letters I used to sign my name I used to sleep at night Before the flashing lights settled deep in my brain But by the time we met By the time we met the times had already changed So I never wrote a letter I never took my true heart, I never wrote it down So when the lights cut out I was lost standing in the wilderness downtown Now our lives are changing fast Now our lives are changing fast Hope that something pure can last Hope that something pure can last Now it seems strange How we used to wait for letters to arrive But what's stranger still Is how something so small can keep you alive We used to wait We used to waste hours just walking around We used to wait All those wasted lives in the wilderness downtown We used to wait We used to wait We used to wait Sometimes it never came We used to wait Sometimes it never came We used to wait I'm still moving through the pain I'm gonna write A letter to my true love I'm gonna sign my name Like a patient on a table I wanna walk again Gonna move to the pain Now our lives are changing fast Now our lives are changing fast Hope that something pure can last Hope that something pure can last We used to wait We used to wait We used to wait Sometimes they never came We used to wait Sometimes they never came We used to wait I'm still moving through the pain We used to wait We used to wait We used to wait We used to wait for it We used to wait for it Now we're screaming "sing the chorus again!" We used to wait for it. We used to wait for it. Now we're screaming "sing the chorus again!" I used to wait for it I used to wait for it Hear my voice screaming "sing the chorus again!" Wait for it! Wait for it! Wait for it! |
