Title:
“Suburban Syndrome”
Full Song Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Am (Am)
I’m sipping on lukewarm coffee in my favorite diner,
G (G)
Looking at the same faces, just a little bit finer.
C (C)
We’ve all got the suburban syndrome, just trying to fit in,
F (F)
Living life in a rhythm, where do I begin?
[Chorus]
C (C)
Here in the land of manicured lawns and picket fences,
Am (Am)
We’re losing track of our senses.
G (G)
Stuck in the suburban syndrome,
F (F)
Is there anyone out there, or are we all alone?
[Verse 2]
Am (Am)
We’re all chasing the same dream, it’s a little bit scary,
G (G)
Laughing at the same jokes, and life is just merry.
C (C)
We’ve all got the suburban syndrome, just trying to be cool,
F (F)
Living life in a cliché, in a minivan carpool.
[Chorus]
C (C)
Here in the land of cookie-cutter houses and Sunday brunches,
Am (Am)
We’re all throwing the same punches.
G (G)
Caught in the suburban syndrome,
F (F)
Is this life, or just another mundane sample?
