Lost in the high street, where the dogs run
Roaming suburban boys
Mother's got a hairdo to be done
She says they're too old for toys
Stood by the bus stop with a felt pen
In this suburban hell
And in the distance a police car
To break the suburban spell

     Let's take a ride, and run with the dogs tonight
     In Suburbia
     You can't hide, run with the dogs tonight
     In Suburbia

Break the window by the town hall
Listen, the siren screams
There in the distance, like a roll call
Of all the suburban dreams

     Let's take a ride, and run with the dogs tonight
     In Suburbia
     You can't hide, run with the dogs tonight
     In Suburbia

I only wanted something else to do but hang around
I only wanted something else to do but hang around
I only wanted something else to do but hang around
I only wanted something else to do but hang around

It's on the front page of the papers
This is their hour of need
Where's a policeman when you need one
To blame the colour TV?

     Let's take a ride, and run with the dogs tonight
     In Suburbia
     You can't hide, run with the dogs tonight
     In Suburbia

     Take a ride, and run with the dogs tonight
     In Suburbia
     You can't hide, run with the dogs tonight
     In Suburbia

     Run with the dogs tonight
     In Suburbia
     You can't hide
     In Suburbia
     In Suburbia
     In Suburbia
     In Suburbia
     In Suburbia
