Welcome To Suburbia

A brand new Ford for me
My neighbors can't believe
I'll park it up the street
So all my friends can see
I go to work each day
I kiss the wife goodbye
Return at five o'clock
And sometimes wonder why

This is life
All the good things in life are free
Living here
A picture of mediocrity

Hello there Mrs. James
How's your dog today?
It's not polite to ask
Why he walks that way
(Look there)
He's left a gift for me
In the corner of my lawn
(Too bad)
Your grass ain't good enough
For him to drop upon

So this is life
All the good things in life are free
Living here
A picture of mediocrity

Welcome...Welcome to suburbia my friend
Welcome...Welcome to suburbia my friend

There goes the neighbors kid
A baseball in his hand
Right through my plate glass door
As though he had it planned
I guess life ain't so bad
If you take it all in stride
Make sure you smile a lot
While you're swallowing your pride

Living here
The American dream runs through my head
So this is life
A color TV and a nice warm bed

Welcome...Welcome to suburbia my friend
Welcome...Handshakes forced with smiles can never end
Welcome...We don't like you much but we'll pretend
Welcome...Welcome to suburbia my friend
