So you've noticed that your city's changed

The old familiar roads now seem so strange

Can you believe that there's paint on the walls

Kids are murdered in the high school halls

Wake up kid, stop your whining

Every silver cloud has a black lining

The world hasn't changed it just broke your bubble

Now you see you can't hide from trouble

You were raised in the suburbs

Mom and dad gave you the best

The referee has left the field

And you're all alone to face this test

Do you have the strength to maintain your precious values

Are you in control of your own fate

Or will you become one of those guys you used to hate

Sooner or later everyone wants the best

Your private world becomes like all the rest

Nothing is worse it's just touching you

The first time you see the world zoo

It's not a question of staying alive

You don't have to fuck over others to survive

The question is what's good enough

How much do you need to stop being tough

You were raised in the suburbs

Mom and dad gave you the best

The referee has left the field

And you're all alone to face this test

Do you have the strength to maintain your precious values

Are you in control of your own fate

Or will you become one of those guys you used to hate
