Song by Ben Folds featuring William Shatner<br /><br>

Rockin’ The Suburbs (feat. William Shatner)<br>

<br>

Let me tell y'all what it's like <br>

Watching idol on a friday night <br>

In a house built safe and sound <br>

On indian burial ground <br>

Sham On <br>

<br>

We drive our cars everyday <br>

To and from work both ways <br>

So we make just enough to pay <br>

To drive our cars to work each day <br>

<br>

We're rocking the suburbs <br>

Around the block just one more time <br>

We're rocking the suburbs <br>

Cause I can't tell which house is mine <br>

We're rocking the suburbs <br>

We part the shades and face facts <br>

They got better looking Fescue <br>

Right across the cul de sac <br>

<br>

Hotwheels take rising stars <br>

Get rich quick seminars <br>

Soap opera magazines <br>

40,000 watt nativity scenes <br>

Don't freak about the smoke alarm <br>

Mom left the TV dinner on <br>

<br>

Yet we're rocking the suburbs <br>

From family feud to Chevy Chase <br>

We're rocking the suburbs <br>

We numb the muscles in our face <br>

We're rocking the suburbs <br>

Feed the dog and mow the lawn <br>

Watching mommy balance the checks <br>

While daddy juggles credit cards <br>

<br>

Hi, sorry to bother you <br>

The name's Bill <br>

I live just across the street <br>

Yeah that's right over there <br>

No, no not that house, the one next to it with the extra flower bed <br>

Oh, and here's all your papers from the last few days, they were just piling up on the driveway where the...whole neighborhood could see them <br>

Not that that's a problem of course <br>

But that and the grass being a little overgrown <br>

Might give someone the impression that you Were out of town <br>

And you wouldn't want that <br>

I've got to be going shortly to a little <br>

class I've been attending I just... <br>

No, no, no, no not pottery or anything like that it's uh... <br>

An ANGER MANAGEMENT class <br>

Actually, <br>

and speaking of that very class <br>

They've been emphasising finding some common ground <br>

With people before you confront them <br>

to avoid becoming violent, you know? <br>

Well actually we do have a few things in common <br>

Here could you take these papers <br>

They're getting my suit wet <br>

and as I was saying <br>

we do live on the same cul-de-sac <br>

That's common ground <br>

and I believe we actually have the same house plan, except the reverse, your garage is on the left and mine's on the... <br>

No, it wasn't me that dialled 911 at 6:31pm Wednesday about your son's noisy rock band <br>

anyway it's about your dog <br>

And of course about our garbage <br>

And the neighbor's garbage can <br>

No, I'm sorry it is your dog <br>

Who's been strewing garbage around the block <br>

And I have digital evidence <br>

Complete with red eye reduction <br>

which I will e-mail to you <br>

to prove that it is in fact your dog <br>

Now, I should warn you that I have a black belt in in karate too <br>

and I'm certainly don't mind using it if necessary <br>

No, not on you man <br>

ON...YOUR...STINKING...DOG <br>

<br>

We're rocking the suburbs <br>

Everything we need is here <br>

We're rocking the suburbs <br>

But it wasn't here last year <br>

We're rocking the suburbs <br>

You'll never know when we are gone <br>

Because the timer lights come on <br>

And turn the cricket noises on each night <br>

Yeah, yeah, we're rocking the suburbs <br>

Yeah, yeah, we're rocking the suburbs<br>

<br>
