Rockin' the Suburbs
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"
Being male, middle-class, and white
It's a bitch, if you don't believe

You better look out because, I'm gonna say "Fuck"
