Suburban War - Arcade Fire

Let’s go for a drive and see the town tonight

There’s nothing to do but I don’t mind when I’m with you

This town’s so strange they built it to change

And while we sleep we know the streets get rearranged

With my old friends it was so different then

Before your war against the suburbs began

Before it began

Now the music divides us into tribes

You grew your hair so I grew mine

You said the past won’t rest

Until we jump the fence and leave it behind

With my old friends, I can remember when

You cut your hair, I never saw you again

Now the cities we live in could be distant stars

And I search for you in every passing car

The night’s so long

Yeah the night’s so long

I’ve been living in the shadows of your song

Been living in the shadows of your song

In the suburbs I, I learned to drive

And you told me we would never survive

So grab your mother’s keys we leave tonight

But you started a war that we 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

All my old friends are staring through me now

All my old friends they don’t know me now

All my old friends they don’t know me now

They don’t know me now

All my old friends, wait
