rows and rows of little houses
d
little yards and wooden fences
a
only difference in the concrete
d
is the number on the street.

two cars parked in every driveway
sun comes up they hit the highway
an empty house to talk to
when the bus comes back from school

Chorus:
b a
Life goes on, it's business as usual
b g
though things are never quite what they seem
d a
cause the cracks in the sidewalks are almost full
g a d
with the future of the american dream.



little flag in a front yard
july 4th picture postcard
fireworks in the night sky
can't remember why

black book on a coffee table
t,v, says it's filled with fables
no such thing as golden rules
another 5 shot down at the school

Chorus:
b a
Life goes on, it's business as usual
b g
though things are never quite what they seem
d a
cause the cracks in the sidewalks are almost full
g a d
with the future of the american dream.
