Lyrics
[Verse 1] Let me tell y'all what it's like Being male, middle-class, and white It's a bitch, if you don't believe Listen up to my new CD (Sha-mon) [Verse 2] I got shit runnin' throught my brain It's so intense that I can't explain All alone in my white-boy pain Shake your booty while the band complains [Chorus] I'm rockin' the suburbs Just like Michael Jackson did I'm rockin' the suburbs Except that he was talented I'm rockin' the suburbs I take the checks and face the facts That some producer with computers fixes all my shitty tracks [Verse 3] I'm pissed off, but I'm too polite When people break in the McDonald's line Mom and Dad you made me so uptight I'm gonna cuss on the mic tonight I don't know how much I can take Girl, give me something I can break [Chorus] I'm rockin' the suburbs Just like Quiet Riot did I'm rockin' the suburbs Except that they were talented I'm rockin' the suburbs I take the checks and face the facts That some producer with computers fixes all my shitty tracks [Verse 4] In a haze these days I pull up to the stop light I can feel that something's not right I can feel that someone's blasting me with hate And bass Sendin' dirty vibes my way Cause my great, great, great, great grandad Made someone's great, great, great, great, grandaddies slaves It wasn't my idea It wasn't my idea Never was my idea I just drove to the store For some Preparation-H [Bridge] Y'all don't know what it's like Being male, middle-class and white Y'all don't know what it's like Being male, middle-class and white Y'all don't know what it's like Being male, middle-class and white Y'all don't know what it's 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! [Chorus] Just like Jon Bon Jovi did I'm rockin' the suburbs Except that he was talented I'm 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 I'm rockin' the suburbs Yeah yeah I'm rockin' the suburbs Yeah yeah [Outro] You'd better look out, because I'm gonna say 'Fuck' You'd better look out, because I'm gonna say 'Fuck' You'd better look out, because I'm gonna say 'Fuck' You'd better look out, because I'm gonna say 'Fuck'
