somewhere in the city
built of iron and steel
where the water pumps thru buildings
thru a turbine wheel
somewhere there's a
lady calling 911
frozen to the telephone
screaming help please come
if the populations 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
it's darkest in suburbia
it's darkest in suburbia
