Satisfaction in Suburbia (PC)

I rode around all night
in minivans and sportscars.
We got in fights and did drugs and
went crazy
like bugs
on a summertime
trampoline.
I watched all
the best kids
smoke drugs
believing they'd be allright
in the end.
I watched late night
TV through the
dim morning.
I cried until sunset.
I cracked up on
the rolling hills
of suburbia.
I layed in the grass
on empty sports fields,
dormant until fall.
I smiled through the
summertime
and eventually came to
understand
how great it all was.
I partied and
zipped around in
the passenger seat,
noting everything.
From the summer sunsets
to the wierd morning fog
and the haze of
marijuanasmoke
that I didn't inhale.
Flipping through the
days,
jumping along
and never really
being too carful
about my next step.
I found myself out there.
And by the dim blue
glow of a million
suburban TV's I finally
understood that
even with 2.5 kids
and minivans,
its all just great.
