Ben Folds - Rockin' The Suburbs Lyrics
Let me tell y'all what it's likeBeing male, middle-class and whiteIt's a b***h, if you don't believeListen up to my new CD(Sha-mon)I got s*** runnin' throught my brainIt's so intense that I can't explainAll alone in my white-boy painShake your booty while the band complainsI'm rockin' the suburbsJust like Michael Jackson didI'm rockin' the suburbsExcept that he was talentedI'm rockin' the suburbsI take the cheques and face the factsThat some producer with computers fixes all my shitty tracksI'm p***ed off but I'm too politeWhen people break in the McDonald's lineMom and Dad you made me so uptightI'm gonna cuss on the mic tonightI don't know how much I can takeGirl, give me something I can breakI'm rockin' the suburbsJust like Quiet Riot didI'm rockin' the suburbsExcept that they were talentedI'm rockin' the suburbsI take the cheques and face the factsThat some producer with computers fixes all my s****y tracksIn a haze these daysI pull up to the stop lightI can feel that something's not rightI can feel that someone's blasting me with hateAnd bassSendin' dirty vibes my way'Cause my great great great great GrandadMade someones' great great great great Grandaddys' slavesIt wasn't my ideaIt wasn't my ideaNever was my ideaI just drove to the storeFor some Preparation-HY'all don't know what it's likeBeing male, middle-class and whiteY'all don't know what it's likeBeing male, middle-class and whiteY'all don't know what it's likeBeing male, middle-class and whiteY'all don't know what it's likeBeing male, middle class and whiteIt gets me real p***ed off, it makes me wanna sayIt gets me real p***ed off and it makes me wanna sayIt gets me real p***ed off and it makes me wanna sayF***!Just like Jon Bon Jovi didI'm rockin' the suburbsExcept that he was talentedI'm rockin' the suburbsI take the cheques and face the factsThat some producer with computers fixes all my s****y tracksThese daysYeah yeahI'm rockin' the suburbsYeah yeahI'm rockin' the suburbsYeah yeahYou'd better look out, because I'm gonna say 'F***'You'd better look out, because I'm gonna say 'F***'You'd better look out, because I'm gonna say 'F***'You'd better look out, because I'm gonna say 'F***'
