Rockin’ the Suburbs (Remix ’06)

[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
