Above riff x11 /w lyrics:
Subdivisions -
In the high school halls
In the shopping malls
Conform or be cast out
Subdivision -
In the basement bars
In the backs of cars
Be cool or be cast out
Any escape might help to smooth
The unattractive truth
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
The restless dreams of youth
