Rockin` The Suburbs Lyrics

Let me tell y'all what it's like

 Being male, middle-class and white

 It's a b*tch, if you don't believe

 Listen up to my new CD

 (Sha-mon) 

 

 I got sh*t 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 sh*tty tracks

 

 I'm p*ssed 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 sh*tty 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 Grandaddies 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 p*ssed off, it makes me wanna say

 It gets me real p*ssed off and it makes me wanna say

 It gets me real p*ssed off and it makes me wanna say

 F*CK!

 

 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 sh*tty 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 'F*ck'

 You'd better look out, because I'm gonna say 'F*ck'

 You'd better look out, because I'm gonna say 'F*ck'

 You'd better look out, because I'm gonna say 'F*ck'
