Somewhere in the city
Built of iron and steel
Where the water pumps through buildings
Through a turbine wheel
Somewhere there's a lady
Calling 911
Frozen to the telephone
Screaming help please come
Help please come
Please come
Please come
Please come
If the population's 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
Play
Play
It's darkest in suburbia
It's darkest in suburbia
It's darkest in suburbia
It's darkest in suburbia
Suburbia
Suburbia
Suburbia
Suburbia
