Ben Folds

Let me tell yall what its like,
Being male, middle-class and white.
Its a bitch, if you dont believe, listen up to my new CD.
I got shit running throught my brain,
Its so intense that I cant explain.
All alone in my white-boy pain,
Shake your booty while the band complains.
Im rockin the suburbs, just like Michael Jackson did,
Im rockin the suburbs, except that he was talented.
Im rockin the suburbs, I take the cheques and face the facts,
That some producer with computers fixes all my shitty tracks.
Im pissed off, but Im too polite,
When people break in the McDonalds line.
Mom and Dad you made me so uptight,
Im gonna cuss on the mic tonight.
I dont know how much I can take,
Girl, give me something I can break.
Im rockin the suburbs, just like Quiet Riot did,
Im rockin the suburbs, except that they were talented.
Im rockin the suburbs, I take the cheques and face the facts,
That some producer with computers fixes all my shitty tracks.
In a haze these days, I pull up to the stop light,
I can feel that somethings not right.
I can feel that someones blasting me with hate,
And bass, sendin dirty vibes my way.
Coz my Great, Great, Great, Great, Grandad,
Made someones Great, Great, Great, Great Grandaddies slaves.
It wasnt my idea, it wasnt my idea, never was my idea.
I just drove to the store for some Preparation-H.
Yall dont know what its like, being male, middle-class and white,
Yall dont know what its like, being male, middle-class and white.
Yall dont know what its like, being male, middle-class and white,
Yall 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 and it makes me wanna say,
It gets me real pissed off and it makes me wanna say,
Fuck!
Just like Jon Bon Jovi did, Im rockin the suburbs,
Except that he was talented, Im rockin the suburbs.
I take the cheques and face the facts,
That some producer with computers fixes all my shitty tracks.
These days, yeah-yeah, Im rockin the suburbs,
Yeah-yeah, Im rockin the suburbs, yeah-yeah.
Youd better look out, because Im gonna say fuck,
Youd better look out, because Im gonna say fuck.
Youd better look out, because Im gonna say fuck,
Youd better look out, because Im gonna say fuck.
