The realtor says it's just the kind of place to raise a family
It's where you want to be
When you're old
It's got three bedrooms and a nice garage to park your Subaru
Paint the shutters blue
Call it sold!
The lady down the street invites herself to bring a casserole
Tries to save your soul
You decline
The folks from Little League say "Call us when you're free some Saturday,
After PTA
Sparkling wine!"
Love it or hate it or say what you please
Two kids and two cars and two masters' degrees
Ask where I'm from and you'll know how to check
Just look at the tag on the back of my neck
It says "Made in Suburbia"
Suburbia, USA
Your neighbor's jacket looks familiar, like the one you gave Goodwill
And his water bill
Is past due
You know that you're the kind of person who would give a friend a hand
Would you lend a hand
If you knew?
Love it or hate it or say what you please
Two kids and two cars and two masters' degrees
Ask where I'm from and you'll know how to check
Just look at the tag on the back of my neck
It says "Made in Suburbia"
Suburbia, USA
You used to keep saying
By the time you were graying
You'd know what the skyline looked like in Shanghai
But the ache in your bones
Says there's student loans
On the way, and you wonder how time learned to fly
Oh, love it or hate it or say what you please
Two kids and two cars and two masters' degrees
Ask where I'm from and you'll know how to check
Just look at the tag on the back of my neck
It says "Made in Suburbia"
"Made in Suburbia"
You've got it made in Suburbia
Suburbia, USA
