Ben Folds - Rockin' The Suburbs lyrics

rate me

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' 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 Michael 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 Grandad

Made someones' great great great great Grandaddys' 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

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 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 'Fuck'

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

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

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