Rockin' the Suburbs Lyrics
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 onI 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 complainsI'm rocking the suburbs
Just like Michael Jackson did
I'm rocking the suburbs
Except that he was talentedI'm rocking the suburbs
I take the checks and face the facts
That some producer with computers
Mixes all my shitty tracksI'm pissed off but I'm too polite
When people break in the Macdonald's line
Mom and dad you made me so uptightI'm gonna cuss on the mic tonight
I don't know how much I can take
Girl give me something I can breakI'm rocking the suburbs
Just like quiet riot did
I'm rocking the suburbs
Except that they were talentedI'm rocking the suburbs
I take the checks and face the facts
That some producer with computers
Mixes all my shitty tracksIn a haze these days
I pull up to the stoplight
I can feel that somethings not right
I can feel that someone's blasting meWith hate and bass
Sending dirty vibes my way
'Cause my great, great, great, great granddad
Made someone's great, great, great, great granddaddy slavesIt wasn't my idea, it wasn't my idea
It never was my idea
I just drove to the store
For some preparation hYa'll don't know what it's like
Being male, middle class and white
Being male, middle class and white
Being male, middle class and white
Being male, middle class and whiteIt gets me real pissed off and 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
It gets me real pissed off and it makes me wanna say
FuckJust like Jon Bon Jovi did
I'm rocking the suburbs
Except that he was talented
I'm rocking the suburbsI take the checks and face the facts
That some producer with computers
Mixes all my shitty tracks these daysI'm rocking the suburbs
I'm rocking the suburbs
You'd better look out because
I'm gonna say fuck
