F# Bb B F#
[Verse]
C#
So you noticed that your city has changed
Bb B
The old familiar roads now they seem so strange
F# C#
Can you believe that there's paint on the walls
Bb B
Kids are murdered in the high school halls
F# C#
Wake up kid and stop your whining
Bb B
Every silver cloud has a black lining
F#
The world hasn't changed
C#
Just broke your bubble
Bb B D#
Now you see you can't hide from trouble
[Chorus]

You were raised in the suburbs

Mom and Dad gave you the best

The referee has left the field
B C# D#
And you're all alone to face this test
C#
Do you have the strength to maintain your precious values
D#
Are you in control of your own fate
B C# F#
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

The first time you see the world zoo

It's not a question of staying alive

Don't have to fuck over others to survive

The question is what's good enough
Bb B D#
How much do you need to stop being tough
[Chorus]

You were raised in the suburbs
