  • 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
