[Verse 1]
Suburbia, 1 am, you're walking home again
Shopping bags and broken glass
I hate going through the underpass
I wish there was some other way around
But you got beaten up by the playground and it's no use
We'll have to go through the suburban shopping centre
Pedestrian walkways I think they were meant to
Make things better
But it's just emptier, and scary at nighttime
Hatfield at that time
[Chorus]
This is the place I live
Where is everyone? Are we the only ones?
This is the place I live
And so does everyone, so does everyone
[Verse 2]
Hatfield 1980
I'm seeing my first knife, my first ambulance ride
I hold your hand the whole way, crying
Get home the next day, police have already been
Well you can imagine the scene
[Chorus]
And if I'm going home, I better change my clothes
I better change my clothes
And if I'm going home, I better change my clothes
I better change my clothes
[Chorus]
This is the place I live
Where is everyone, are we the only ones?
This is the place I live
And so does everyone, so does everyone
[Outro]
And when I'm looking back, I look for everyone
And when I fall down, I fall for anyone
When I'm looking back, I look for everyone
And when I fall down, I fall for anyone
Suburbia, 1 am, you're walking home again
Shopping bags and broken glass
I hate going through the underpass
I wish there was some other way around
But you got beaten up by the playground and it's no use
We'll have to go through the suburban shopping centre
Pedestrian walkways I think they were meant to
Make things better
But it's just emptier, and scary at nighttime
Hatfield at that time
[Chorus]
This is the place I live
Where is everyone? Are we the only ones?
This is the place I live
And so does everyone, so does everyone
[Verse 2]

Get home the next day, police have already been

And if I'm going home, I better change my clothes
I better change my clothes
And if I'm going home, I better change my clothes
I better change my clothes
[Chorus]
This is the place I live
Where is everyone, are we the only ones?
This is the place I live
And so does everyone, so does everyone
[Outro]
And when I'm looking back, I look for everyone
And when I fall down, I fall for anyone
When I'm looking back, I look for everyone
And when I fall down, I fall for anyone
