Arcade Fire - Suburban War lyrics

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
