Rockin' The Suburbs Lyrics - Ben Folds

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 

Fixes 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 

Fixes 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 wasn't my idea 

It 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 

It gets me real pissed off and it makes me want to say 

Fuck 

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 

Fixes all my shitty tracks these days 

I'm rocking the suburbs 

You'd better look out because I'm gonna say fuck
