Once Upon Suburbia

Once upon suburban streets
there was a better way
Everything was innocent
The streets were safe to play
Now it's just a slum land

And they won't apologise
They won't apologise
They won't apologise

Simpler times and happy places playing in the park
Now you better lock your doors

Especially after dark
Especially after dark
Forever in the dark

Where once was a playground
there's apartment blocks and parking lots
Where my dog was buried now stands a shopping mall

Street gangs and the immigrants
Stole all of our innocence
Slumlords count ill gotten gains

They won't apologise
They won't apologise
They won't apologise
They won't apologise
For their sins

Garbage bins
Look at everything they took
Burning drums gangland scum
Don't you take a second look

Stole my past memories
Of a time that we were free
They destroyed my life
And it's all gone
All gone
