Rush - Subdivisions (Retrospective II 1981-87)
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
Chorus
(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
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...
Chorus

| the Police could play this with their eyes closed musically--Sting and Geddy have different voices--it would sound weird |

| The Police couldn't handle this tune. No offense, I'm actually a huge Police fan. Theres a reason Rush cover bands make most of us cringe. Their just on another planet when it comes to sound and arrangement. A good Planet :) |

| I have to say, Rush's videos have always been pretty lackluster, but all that is an afterthought to the incredible music. It's a shame this band is so unappreciated |

| @tintinchinty lol thats true of almost every rush song :) But yes, this one in particular. Most people haven't even heard of it and yet i would have to say that it is my favorite song by them. |
