Rockin The Suburbs Lyrics
Jump to:
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.
Sham on.
I got shit runnin' throught my brain
It's 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 Micheal Jackson did
I’m rockin’ the suburbs
Except that he was talented
I’m rockin’ the suburbs
I take the cheques 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 cheques 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 Grand dad
Made someone’s great great great great
Grand daddies 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, 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
F*CK!
Just like Jon Bon Jovi did
I'm rockin' the suburbs
Except that he was talented
I'm rockin' the suburbs
I take the cheques 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'd better look out, because I'm gonna say
'F*ck
'You'd better look out, because I'm gonna say
'F*ck
'You'd better look out, because I'm gonna say
'F*ck
