Ben Folds - Rockin' the Suburbs lyrics

[Ben Folds - Rockin' the Suburbs lyrics]

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 checks 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 checks 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 granddad
Made someone's great, great, great, great
Granddaddies 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 checks 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'
