Rockin’ the Suburbs (Remix ’06)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Let me tell y'all what it's like Watching Idol on a Friday night In a house built safe and sound On Indian burial grounds Sham on [Verse 2] We drive our cars every day To and from work both ways So we make just enough to pay To drive our cars to work each day Hey, hey [Chorus] We're rockin' the suburbs Around the block just one more time We're rockin' the suburbs 'Cause I can't tell which house is mine We're rockin' the suburbs We part the shades and face the facts They've got better-lookin' fescue Right across the cul-de-sac [Verse 3] Hot real-estate rising stars Get-rich-quick seminars Soap opera magazines Forty-thousand-watt nativity scenes Don't freak about the smoke alarm Mom left the TV dinner on [Chorus] We're rockin' the suburbs From Family Feuds to Chevy Chase We're rockin' the suburbs We numb the muscles in our face We're rockin' the suburbs We feed the dog and mow the lawn Watching Mommy bounce the checks While Daddy juggles credit cards I can't tell which house is mine... [Verse 4] Big Sis just turned 19 She's working hard in the Middle East So that we can keep our gasoline And our 40,000 watt nativity scene Dad saw something on TV Thinks I might have the 'homo gene' [Chorus] We're rockin' the suburbs Everything we need is here We're rockin' the suburbs But it wasn't here last year We're rockin' the suburbs You'll never know when we are gone Because the timer lights the pond And turns the cricket noises on Each night Yeah, yeah We're rockin' the suburbs Yeah, yeah We're rockin' the suburbs
