you know they really should put a stop sign here
people fly around this corner with nothing to fear, you know
I see it everyday
but I'm safe up here, this is where I'll stay
a silent alarm in this convenience store
doesn't seem to do much for that poor clerk
you know he's such an easy target
but I'm safe out here, this is where I'll stay
I've seen a ten car pile up
I've seen fistfights, gunfights, more
still I see know need to leave my space
outside the door I'm watching America
I'm watching America
no I can't remember when I gave it up
school, family, religion, I didn't know where to stop
but I've got friends out here
this is all I need
we're doing just fine
you know the city's overrated
there's nothing there for us
I've seen it on TV.
those people all live in the past
they're all white-bred republicans
making rules no one follows
cheating on their wives
beating down on lower cla**
we're happy in suburbia
we're happy in suburbia
suburbs are built for people like us
the young guys who know there's nobody to trust
I'm safe out here, this is all I need
this is where I'll stay
I've seen a ten car pile up
I've seen fistfights, gunfights, more
still I see know need to leave my space
outside the door I'm watching America
I'm watching America
