Faux Alarms - Suburban Gasoline Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Trust fund baby with a safety net
Designer labels that I'll soon forget
Mom's a professor, dad's got tenure
But I'm choking on this picture-perfect future
Straight A's and country clubs can't save my soul
These white-picket fences make me feel so alone

[Chorus]
Suburban gasoline
Light a match and watch it gleam
I'm your sweet catastrophe
Everything they hoped I'd never be
F*ck your garden parties
And your fake sincerity
I'm burning down this dream
With suburban gasoline

[Verse 2]
Stealing wine from mother's cabinet
Sneaking out just to feel alive again
Chapel Hill's got me suffocating
While all these trust fund kids keep celebrating
But there's a fire burning in my veins
That private school could never tame

[Bridge]
I don't need your legacy
Your ivory tower pedigree
Watch me tear it all apart
With my spray-painted heart
Sorry daddy, I'm not sorry
For breaking out of this story

[Chorus]
Suburban gasoline
Light a match and watch it gleam
I'm your sweet catastrophe
Everything they hoped I'd never be
F*ck your garden parties
And your fake sincerity
I'm burning down this dream
With suburban gasoline

[Outro]
They can keep their perfect lawn
Their country club at dawn
'Cause I'd rather crash and burn
Than live a lie I never earned
Watch me set it all ablaze
Your store-bought paradise will fade
(Your store-bought paradise will fade)
