Ben Folds Five - Rockin the suburbs lyrics

rate me

let me tell ya'll 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 running 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 rocking the suburbs

just like michael jackson did

i'm rocking the suburbs

except that he was talented

i'm rocking the suburbs

i take the checks and face the facts

that some producer with computers

mixes all my shitty tracks

i'm pissed off but i'm too polite

when people break in the mcdonalds 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 rocking the suburbs

just like quiet riot did

i'm rocking the suburbs

except that they were talented

i'm rocking the suburbs

i take the checks and face the facts

that some producer with computers

mixes all my shitty tracks

in a haze these days

i pull up to the stoplight

i can feel that something's not right

i can feel that someone's blasting me

with hate and bass

sending dirty vibes my way

cause my great great great great grandad

made someone's great great great great grandaddy slaves

it wasn't my idea

it wasn't my idea

it never was my idea

i just drove to the store

for some preparation h

ya'll don't know what it's like

being male, middle class and white(4x)

it gets me real pissed off and it makes me wanna say(4x)

FUCK

just like jon bon jovi did

i'm rocking the suburbs

except that he was talented

i'm rocking the suburbs

i take the checks and face the facts

that some producer with computers

mixes all my shitty tracks these days

i'm rocking the suburbs(2x)

you'd better look out because i'm gonna say fuck(fades in)
