Ooh,
ooh, ooh,
ooh, ooh, ooh
I'm burning a fire in the suburbs
Filled by the weed and the liquor
Trying to be alive in the suburbs tonight
Ooh,
ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Man with a pen,
he's gonna tell us a story
Ooh,
ooh,
ooh,
ooh,
ooh,
ooh First on the scene,
looking for the glory
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Trying to be alive
in the suburbs tonight
They're gonna hold us down,
we're gonna scream it higher
They're gonna read us rights from wrongs tonight
Through the wire,
they try to bring us down
But we'll never tire
They see only through the wire
Everything's clear in the city
Straight as the lines of that cocaine
Yeah,
I feel so many miles from the suburbs tonight
Ooh,
ooh,
ooh,
ooh,
ooh,
ooh A bottle of wine on the table
Life that they live has a label And
hatred will arrive in many colors tonight
They're gonna hold us down,
we're gonna scream it higher
They're gonna read us rights from wrongs tonight Through the wire,
they try to bring us down
But we'll never tire They see only through the wire
Through the wire Through the wire
Through the wire
