Side streets and the summer heat The wolves run fast when the boredom breeds Latchkey, ya gotta come clean Mission impossible at seventeen As the perfect world turns Major malfunction in the heart of the concern Another no-name on the failure freeway Who's to blame, Mother says it's a phase! Somewhere down in Suburbia it ain't right.... (x4) No it ain't right Dead ends scream a teenage warning Opportunity's not even knocking Learn to drown if you can't swim Drop out if you can't drop in And when lessons don't get learned The dysfunctional, discouraged voices go unheard Another closed door means more losers The desperate youth stumbles down the avenue Somewhere down in suburbia it ain't right (x4) No it ain't right Nowhere to go and nothing to do tonight Dysfunctional, unintentional Perpetual cycle been around you Come after you There's nothing nobody really wants to do Oh, the wolves cry tonight Out on the streets tonight
