Sprawling on the fringes of the city

In geometric order

An insulated border

In-between the bright lights

And the far, unlit unknown

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

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

Any escape might help to smooth

The unattractive truth

But the suburbs have no charms to soothe

The restless dreams of youth

Drawn like moths, we drift into the city

The timeless old attraction

Cruising for the action

Lit up like a firefly

Just to feel the living night

Some will sell their dreams for small desires

Or lose the race to rats

Get caught in ticking traps

And start to dream of somewhere

To relax their restless flight

Somewhere out of a memory

Of lighted streets on quiet nights

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

Any escape might help to smooth

The unattractive truth

But the suburbs have no charms to soothe

The restless dreams of youth

UMC America is still alright for kids and even better for 20-somethings.

I wish we'd bring back 80s style bullies in school. I actually think they were a net positive for society. It was vicious. Nerds had just the right kind of ass kicking that triggered their inner chad to man up and kick literal ass in real life. Bullies always got what they deserved in the end, usually in a brutal street justice kind of way, the kind of hubris that lends itself to that.
