Lyrics Arcade Fire

Arcade Fire

Suburban War

Let's go for a drive

And see the town tonight

There's nothing to do but I don't mind when I'm with you

This time's so strange

They built it to change

And while we're sleeping all the streets, they rearrange.

And my old friends, we were so different then

Before your war against the suburbs began

Before it began

And now the music divides

Us into tribes

You grew your hair so I grew mine

You said the past won't rest

Until we jump the fence

And leave it behind

And my old friends, I can remember when

You cut your hair

I never saw you again

Now the cities we live in

Could be distant stars

And I search for you

In every passing car

The night's so warm

Yeah, the night's so warm

I've been living in the shadows of your song

Living in the shadows of your song

In the suburbs I,

I learned to drive

And you told me we would never survive

So grab your mother's keys we leave tonight

But you started a war

That you can't win

They keep erasing all the streets we grew up in

Now the music divides

Us into tribes

You choose your side and I'll choose my side

All my old friends, they don't know me now

Oh-oh

All my old friends, are staring through me now

Oh-oh

All my old friends, they don't know me now

All my old friends, they don't know me now

All my old friends wait
