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 on
|
|
i 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 complains
|
|
i'm rocking the suburbs
|
just like michael jackson did
|
i'm rocking the suburbs
|
except that he was talented
|
i'm rocking the suburbs
|
i take the checks and face the facts
|
that some producer with computers
|
mixes all my shitty tracks
|
|
i'm pissed off but i'm too polite
|
when people break in the mcdonalds 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 rocking the suburbs
|
just like quiet riot did
|
i'm rocking the suburbs
|
except that they were talented
|
i'm rocking the suburbs
|
i take the checks and face the facts
|
that some producer with computers
|
mixes all my shitty tracks
|
|
in a haze these days
|
i pull up to the stoplight
|
i can feel that something's not right
|
i can feel that someone's blasting me
|
with hate and bass
|
sending dirty vibes my way
|
cause my great great great great grandad
|
made someone's great great great great grandaddy slaves
|
it wasn't my idea
|
it never was my idea
|
i just drove to the store
|
for some preparation h
|
|
ya'll don't know what it's like
|
being male, middle class and white(3x)
|
it gets me real pissed off and it makes me wanna say
|

|
just like jon bon jovi did
|
i'm rocking the suburbs
|
except that he was talented
|
i'm rocking the suburbs
|
i take the checks and face the facts
|
that some producer with computers
|
mixes all my shitty tracks these days
|
