Ben Folds - Rockin' the Suburbs lyrics

Let me tell y'all what its like
Being male, middle class and white.
Its a bitch if you dont believe
listen up to my new CD
Chez moi

I got sh@t running through my brain
So intense that I cant 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'll take the cheques and face the facts
That some producer with computers
Mixes all my sh@tty tracks.

I'm pissed off but I'm too polite
When people break in the Mcdonalds line
Mum and dad you made me so uptight
Gonna Cuss on the mike tonight.

I Dont Know how much I can take
Girl give me something I cant break

I'm rockin the suburbs
Just like Quiet Lyit did
I'm rockin the suburbs
Except that they were talented
I'm rockin the suburbs
I'll take the cheques and face the facts
That some producer with computers
Mixes all my sh@tty tracks.

In a haze these days
I pull up to the stoplight
I can feel that something's not right
I can feel that someones blasting me
With hate and things
Sending dirty thoughts my way
Cos my great great great great grandad
and someones great great great great grandad
were slaves.........
it wasnt my idea
It wasnt my idea
Never was my idea
I just drove to the store
For some (preperation age)

Y'all dont know what its like
Being male middle class and white.
Y'all dont know what its like
Being male middle class and white.
Y'all dont know what its like
Being male middle class and white.
Y'all dont know what its like
Being male middle class and white.
It gets me real pissed off
It makes me wanna say
It gets me real pissed off
It makes me wanna say
It gets me real pissed off
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'll take the cheques and face the facts
That some producer with computers
Mixes all my sh@tty tracks.
These days
Yeah yeah
I'm rockin the suburbs
Yeah yeah
I'm rockin the suburbs
Yeah yeah

It gets me real pissed off and makes me wanna say f@ck....
