This Could Be Anywhere Lyrics - Frankenchrist - Dead Kennedys

Cold concrete apartments 

Rise up from wet black asphalt 

Below them a few carcasses 

Of the long gone age of privacy 

It 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 chains 

One by one 

The little houses are bricked up and condemned 

A subtle hint to move 

Before the rats move in

This could be anywhere 

This could be everywhere 

Those 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 fights 

So many people I know 

Come of age tense and bitter-eyed 

Can't create so they just destroy 

C'mon! 

Let's set someone's dog on fire 

Empty plastic 

Culture slum suburbia 

Is a war zone now 

Sprouting the kinds of gangs 

We thought we'd left behind 

Photos 

This could be anywhere 

This could be everywhere 

Kids 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 crime in this town 

This could be anywhere 

This could be everywhere 

This could be anywhere 

This could be everywhere 

Anywhere 

Everywhere 

I hope I'm gone before it explodes 

I 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 submachine gun 

To his sixteen-year-old daughter's friends 

Whose sense of pride and hope 

Is being in the police reserve 

This could be anywhere 

This could be everywhere¡ºeverywhere
