[Verse 1]
Sprawling on the fringes of the city
In geometric order
An insulated border
In between the bright lights
And the far unlit unknown
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus: Geddy Lee & Neil Peart]
(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
[Post-Chorus]
Any escape might help to smooth
The unattractive truth
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
The restless dreams of youth
Sprawling on the fringes of the city
In geometric order
An insulated border
In between the bright lights
And the far unlit unknown
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus: Geddy Lee & Neil Peart]
(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
[Post-Chorus]
Any escape might help to smooth
The unattractive truth
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
The restless dreams of youth
