Letra de This Could Be Anywhere
Cold concrete apartments Rise up from wet black asphalt Below them a few carcasses Of the long-gone age of privacyIt 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 chainsOne by one, the little houses are bricked up and condemned A subtle hint to move before the rats move inThis could be anywhere Could be anywhere EverywhereThose 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 fightsSo 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 fireEmpty plastic culture slum, suburbia is a war zone now Sprouting the kinds of gangs we thought we'd left behindThis could be anywhere Could be anywhere EverywhereCould be anywhere Could be everywhere Could be anywhereKids 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 townThis could be anywhere This could be everywhere This could be anywhere This could be everywhereThis could be anywhere (anywhere) This could be everywhere (everywhere) This could be anywhere (anywhere) This could be everywhere I hope I'm gone before it explodesI 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 blanks 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 reserveThis could be anywhere Could be everywhere Could be anywhere EverywhereThis could be anywhere This could be everywhere This could be anywhere This could be everywhere Everywhere
