Side streets and the summer heat
The wolves run fast when the boredom breeds
Latchkey you gotta come clean
Mission impossible at seventeen
As a perfect world turns
Major malfunction in the heart of the concerned
Another no name on the failure freeway
Who's to blame, mother says it's a phase
Somewhere down in suburbia it ain't right
Somewhere down in suburbia it ain't right
Somewhere down in suburbia it ain't right
Somewhere down in suburbia it ain't right
No it ain't right
Dead-ends scream a teenage warning
Opportunities not even knocking
Learn to drown if you can't swim
Drop out if you can't drop in
And when lessons don't get learned
The dysfunctional, discouraged voices go unheard
Another closed door means more losers
The desperate youth stumbles down the avenue
Somewhere down in suburbia it ain't right
Somewhere down in suburbia it ain't right
Somewhere down in suburbia it ain't right
Somewhere down in suburbia it ain't right
No it ain't right
Nowhere to go and nothing to do tonight
Dysfunctional, unintentional
Perpetual cycle been around you
Come after you
There's nothing nobody relly wants to do
Oh, the wolves cry tonight
Out on the streets tonight
