Lost in the high street, where the dogs run/

roaming suburban boys/

Mother's got her hair do to be done/

She says they're too old for toys/

Stood by the bus stop with a felt pen/

in this suburban hell

and in the distance a police car/

to break the suburban spell

Let's take a ride/

and run with the dogs tonight/in suburbia/

You can't hide/Run with the dogs tonight

/in suburbia

Break the window by the town hall

listen! A siren screams/

there in the distance like a roll call

of all the suburban dreams

Let's take a ride/

and run with the dogs tonight/

in suburbia/

You can't hide/

run with the dogs tonight/

in suburbia

I only wanted something else to do but hang around/

I only wanted something else to do but hang around

It's on the front page of the papers/

This is their hour of need/

Where's a policeman when you need one/

to blame the colour TV?

Let's take a ride/

and run with the dogs tonight/

in suburbia/

You can't hide/

run with the dogs tonight/

in suburbia

Suburbia/

where the suburbs met utopia/

What kind of dream was this?

so easy to destroy?

Man who are were to blame

For the sins of the past?

These slums of the future?

suburbia/

where the suburbs met utopia/
