The Suburbs Song - Redstone

In the suburbs I, I learned to drive And you told me we'd never survive Grab your mother's keys, we're leaving You always seemed so sure That one day we'd be fighting In a suburban war Your part of town against mine I saw you standing on the opposite shore But by the time the first bombs fell We were already bored We were already, already bored Sometimes I can't believe it I'm moving past the feeling Sometimes I can't believe it I'm moving past the feeling again The kids want to be so hard But in my dreams we're still screaming And running through the yard When all of the walls that they built In the seventies finally fall And all of the houses they built In the seventies finally fall Meant nothing at all? Meant nothing at all It meant nothing Sometimes I can't believe it I'm moving past the feeling Sometimes I can't believe it I'm moving past the feeling And into the night So can you understand Why I want a daughter while I'm still young? I want to hold her hand And show her some beauty Before this damage is done But if it's too much to ask If it's too much to ask Then send me a son Under the overpass In the parking lot, we're still waiting It's already passed So move your feet from hot pavement And into the grass 'Cause it's already passed It's already, already passed Sometimes I can't believe it I'm moving past the feeling Sometimes I can't believe it I'm moving past the feeling again I'm moving past the feeling I'm moving past the feeling In my dreams we're still screaming We're still screaming We're still screaming

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!
