lyrics

BORN IN THE SUBURBS

(Words and Music - Ian Proudlock)

We were born in the gutter
We grew up on the street
We were slaves to the rhythm
Now we’re kickin’ the beat
Gettin down with your momma
While we’re stealing your car
We’re playing poker with your sister
And we’re playing your guitar

(Chorus) Cos we’re Urchins (Urchins)
We’re motherfucking Urchins (Urchins)
We’re dirty little Urchins (Urchins)
And we’re coming from a suburb near you

We’re stealing money from your wallet
Stealing liquor from the store
Got our hands in our pockets
Cruisin’ down the street to score
Now we’re rockin the stage
In this dirty little dive
We’re like rock ‘n roll soldiers
In the war against the jive

(Repeat chorus)

We were born in the suburbs
We grew up on the street
Where we learned how to fight
Just to make the ends meet
We were breaking into houses
We were breaking into cars
Now we’re breaking out the riffage
On our pawnshop guitars

(Repeat chorus)
