rockin the suburbs over the hedge edition

Ben Folds

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 ground
Sham On

We drive our cars everyday
To and from work both ways
So we make just enough to pay
To drive our cars to work each day
Hey Hey

We re rocking the suburbs
Around the block just one more time
We re rocking the suburbs
Cause I can t tell which house is mine
We re rocking the suburbs
We part the shades and face the facts
They got better looking Fescue
Right across the cul de sac

Hot real estate rising stars
Get rich quick seminars
Soap opera magazines
40,000 watt nativity scenes
Don t freak about the smoke alarm
Mom left the TV dinner on

We re rocking the suburbs
From Donahues to Chevy Chase
We re rocking the suburbs
We numb the muscles in our face
We re rocking the suburbs
Feed the dog and mow the lawn
Watching mommy balance the checks
While daddy juggles credit cards

(William shatner talking)

We re rocking the suburbs
Everything we need is here
We re rocking the suburbs
But it wasn t here last year
We re rocking the suburbs
You ll never know when we are gone
Because the timer lights come on
And turn the cricket noises on each night
Yeah, yeah, we re rocking the suburbs
Yeah, yeah, we re rocking the suburbs
