Suburban days, they last so long In shop and office, we sing our song we all sing We ain't got nothing, nothing to do A big fat nothing, nothing for me, nothing for you Suburban dreams, just out of reach Work till you die, that's what they teach you at school With that in mind, what's there to lose? My friends and I, doped up on TV fags and booze Hear them all singing We're the ones that you've forgotten But we will not be denied Coming out of the shadows We rock the satellites Suburban nights, they get so hot People get angry, we sing our song we all sing A global terror they say, we are at war But I ain't got time for that 'cause These bills keep dropping through my door Hear them all singing We're the ones you've forgotten Out of mind, out of sight Coming out of the shadows We rock the satellites All these people who criticize us well We're only saying what we're seeing with our own eyes This one way system it ain't, it ain't paradise Not everybody wants to race, wants to fight Hear them all singing We're the ones you've forgotten But we will not be denied Coming out of the shadows We rock the satellites We're the ones that you've forgotten Out of mind, out of sight Coming out of the shadows Coming live via satellite
