Subdivisions Lyrics - A Show Of Hands (live) - Rush

Sprawling on the fringes of the city 

In geometric order 

An insulated border 

In between the bright lights 

And the far unlit unknown 

Growing up it all seems so one-sided 

Opinions all provided 

The future pre-decided 

Detached and subdivided 

In the mass production zone 

Nowhere is the dreamer 

Or the misfit so alone

Subdivisions 

In the high school halls 

In the shopping malls 

Conform or be cast out 

Subdivisions 

In the basement bars 

In the backs of cars 

Be cool or be cast out 

Any escape might help to smooth 

The unattractive truth 

But the suburbs have no charms to soothe 

The restless dreams of youth 

Drawn like moths we drift into the city 

The timeless old attraction 

Cruising for the action 

Lit up like a firefly 

Just to feel the living night 

Photos 

Well some will sell their dreams for small desires 

Or lose the race to rats 

Get caught in ticking traps 

And start to dream of somewhere 

To relax their restless flight 

Somewhere out of a memory 

Of lighted streets on quiet nights 

Subdivisions 

In the high school halls 

In the shopping malls 

Conform or be cast out 

Subdivisions 

In the basement bars 

In the backs of cars 

Be cool or be cast out 

Any escape might help to smooth 

The unattractive truth 

But the suburbs have no charms to soothe 

The restless dreams of youth
