When I was in my early twenties, I wrote this because I was not ready to settle down.

lyrics

I DON’T WANT TO DIE IN SUBURBIA



VERSE: LIVING IN SUBURBIA CAN BE A DRAG
GIRLFRIEND THINKS SHE’S GOT ME IN THE BAG.
SHE SAYS, “HEY DARLIN’, I WANT KIDS.”
SORRY BUT I AIN’T TAKIN’ ANY BIDS.

CHORUS: I DON’T WANT TO DIE IN SUBURBIA
SO LET’S GET BABY RAPIN’ DRUNK
AND TEAR UP THE TOWN TONIGHT

VERSE: WORK EVERYDAY FROM NINE TO FIVE
LIKE A ZOMBIE MORE DEAD THAN ALIVE
COME HOME TO A WIFE AND SCREAMING KIDS
LIFE IN SUBURBIA HAS GOT TO BE THE SKIDS

CHORUS:

VERSE: WORK ALL DAY TO PAY THE BILLS
COME HOME TO WATCH T.V. FOR SOME THRILLS
WATCHING PRETTY GIRLS WALK ON BY
BEING TIED DOWN MAKES YOU WANT TO CRY.

CHORUS:
