Rockin' the Suburbs

Lyrics

Let me tell y'all what it's like
 Being male, middle-class, and white
 It's a bitch, if you don't believe
 Listen up to my new CD, sha-mon
 ♪
 I got shit runnin' through my brain
 So intense, that I can't explain
 All alone in my white-boy pain
 Shake your booty while the band complains
 ♪
 I'm rockin' the suburbs, just like Michael Jackson did
 I'm rockin' the suburbs, except that he was talented
 I'm rockin' the suburbs, I take the checks, and face the facts
 That some producer with computers fixes all my shitty tracks
 ♪
 I'm pissed off, but I'm too polite
 When people break in the McDonald's line
 Mom and dad, you made me so uptight
 I'm gonna cuss on the mic tonight
 I don't know how much I can take
 Girl, give me something I can break
 I'm rockin' the suburbs, just like Quiet Riot did
 I'm rockin' the suburbs, except that they were talented
 I'm rockin' the suburbs, I take the checks, and face the facts
 That some producer with computers fixes all my shitty tracks
 ♪
 In a haze these days, I pull up to the stop light
 I can feel that something's not right
 I can feel that someone's blasting me with hate and bass
 Sendin' dirty vibes my way
 'Cause, my great-great-great-great-grandad
 Made someone's great-great-great-great-granddaddies slaves
 It wasn't my idea
 It wasn't my idea
 Never was my idea
 I just drove to the store for some preparation-H
 ♪
 Y'all don't know what it's like, being male, middle-class, and white
 Y'all don't know what it's like, being male, middle-class, and white
 Y'all don't know what it's like, being male, middle-class and white
 Y'all don't know what it's like, being male, middle class and white
 It gets me real pissed off, and it makes me wanna say
 It gets me real pissed off, and it makes me wanna say
 It gets me real pissed off, and it makes me wanna say, fuck!
 Just like Jon Bon Jovi did
 I'm rockin' the suburbs, except that he was talented
 I'm rockin' the suburbs, I take the checks, and face the facts
 That some producer with computers fixes all my shitty tracks these days
 Yeah, yeah, I'm rockin' the suburbs
 Yeah, yeah, I'm rockin' the suburbs
 Yeah, yeah
 ♪
 You better look out because, I'm gonna say "Fuck"
 You better look out because, I'm gonna say "Fuck"
 You better look out because, I'm gonna say "Fuck"
 You better look out because, I'm gonna say "Fuck"
