title: Subdivision

• Sprawling on the fringes of the city
  In geometric order
  An insulated border
  In-between the bright lights
  And the far, unlit unknown
  
  Growing up, it all seems so one-sided
  Opinions all provided
  The future pre-decided
  Detached and subdivided
  In the mass-production zone
  
  Nowhere is the dreamer
  Or the misfit so alone
  
  Subdivisions
  In the high school halls
  In the shopping malls
  Conform or be cast out
  Subdivisions
  In the basement bars
  In the backs of cars
  Be cool or be cast out
  
  Any escape might help to smooth
  The unattractive truth
  But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
  The restless dreams of youth
  
  Drawn like moths, we drift into the city
  The timeless old attraction
  Cruising for the action
  Lit up like a firefly
  Just to feel the living night
  

  Some will sell their dreams for small desires
  Or lose the race to rats
  Get caught in ticking traps
  And start to dream of somewhere
  To relax their restless flight
  

  Somewhere out of a memory
  Of lighted streets on quiet nights
  
  Subdivisions
  In the high school halls
  In the shopping malls
  Conform or be cast out
  Subdivisions
  In the basement bars
  In the backs of cars
  Be cool or be cast out
  
  Any escape might help to smooth
  The unattractive truth
  But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
  The restless dreams of youth
