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 

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 facts 
They got better looking Fescue 
Right across the cul de sac 

Hotwheels take 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 

Yet we're rocking the suburbs 
From family feud 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 

Hi, sorry to bother you 
The name's Bill 
I live just across the street 
Yeah that's right over there 
No, no not that house, the one next to it with the extra flower bed 
Oh, and here's all your papers from the last few days, they were just piling up on the driveway where the...whole neighborhood could see them 
Not that that's a problem of course 
But that and the grass being a little overgrown 
Might give someone the impression that you Were out of town 
And you wouldn't want that 
I've got to be going shortly to a little 
class I've been attending I just... 
No, no, no, no not pottery or anything like that it's uh... 
An ANGER MANAGEMENT class 
Actually, 
and speaking of that very class 
They've been emphasising finding [bad word] ground 
With people before you confront them 
to avoid [bad word] violent, you know? 
Well actually we do have a few things [bad word] 
Here could you take these papers 
They're getting my suit wet 
and as I was saying 
we do live on the same cul-de-sac 
 [bad word] ground 
and I believe we actually have the same house plan, except the reverse, your garage is on the left and mine's on the... 
No, it wasn't me that dialled 911 at 6:31pm Wednesday about your son's noisy rock band 
anyway it's about your dog 
And of course about our garbage 
And the neighbor's garbage can 
No, I'm sorry it is your dog 
Who's been strewing garbage around the block 
And I have digital evidence  [bad word] with red eye reduction 
which I will e-mail to you 
to prove that it is in fact your dog 
Now, I should warn you that I have a black belt in in karate too 
and I'm certainly don't mind using it if necessary 
No, not on you man 
ON...YOUR...STINKING...DOG 

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 [bad word] on 
And turn the cricket noises on each night 
Yeah, yeah, we're rocking the suburbs 
Yeah, yeah, we're rocking the suburbs
