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'
|
