This Could Be Anywhere (Live at the Farm)

歌詞

Cold concrete apartments Rise up from wet black asphalt Below them a few carcasses Of the long-gone age of privacy It takes a scary kind of illness To design a place like this for pay Downtown's an endless generic mall Of video games and fast food chains One by one, the little houses are bricked up and condemned A subtle hint to move before the rats move in This could be anywhere Could be anywhere, everywhere Those new kids at school seem cool But dad says not to talk to them Stick to your old friends, they're not our kind So now there's lots of fights So many people I know Come of age tense and bitter-eyed Can't create so they just destroy Come on, let's set someone's dog on fire Empty plastic culture slum, suburbia is a war zone now Sprouting the kinds of gangs we thought we'd left behind This could be anywhere Could be anywhere, everywhere Could be anywhere Could be everywhere Could be anywhere Kids at school are taking sides Along color and uniform lines My dad's gone and bought a gun He says he's fed up with the crime in this town This could be anywhere This could be everywhere This could be anywhere This could be everywhere This could be anywhere This could be everywhere This could be anywhere This could be everywhere I hope I'm gone before it explodes I linger late at night Waiting for the bus No amount of neon jazz Could hide the oozing vibes of death My dad's a vigilante now He's bringing home these weird-ass friends Like the guy who fires at at his TV When Kojak's on Or the guy who shows off his sub-machine gun to his sixteen year old daughter's friends Whose sense of pride and hope is being in the police reserve This could be anywhere Could be everywhere, could be anywhere, everywhere This could be anywhere This could be everywhere This could be anywhere This could be everywhere Everywhere
