somewhere in the city

built of iron and steel

where the water pumps thru buildings

thru a turbine wheel

somewhere there's a

lady calling 911

frozen to the telephone

screaming help please come

if the populations growing then

only time can tell

'cause prisons are overflowing

there's no room in hell

in the california valley the palm

trees sway

on the lawns of the tract housing

all the children play

it's darkest in suburbia

it's darkest in suburbia
