Butch Walker Miscellaneous Suburbia Well remember the guy who was a football star, he had it made with the ladies, but he never got far Five years past, now he's gotten kind of fat, working 8 days a week at a Laundromat, with his momma and his daddy breathing down his neck, about everything he does so much it makes him sick! So he sits home alone, with the game on TV, as the crowd goes wild he said, "that coulda been me" Just another day in suburbia It's a beautiful day in suburbia Best not let it get the best of you Is it everything you thought it would be Remember playing games at the rich kid's home, his dad owned a bank, while his mom was alone Everyday with the mailman, the trash man, lawn guy Kid didn't look a damn thing like his dad (I knew why) He grew up got a job making 80 grand a year Had a wife and kid, all the guys called a queer But his dad never knew, he was too blind to see Guess it kinda ran in the family Just another day in suburbia It's a beautiful day in suburbia Best not let it get the best of you Is it everything you thought it would be Remember the girl down the street with the kids That used to come outside, but she never did Cuz she was trying to hide the bruises where her old man beat her, Cuz he hit her in the face with an old space heater. He came home drunk and tried to force sex on her But he didn't see the 44 stuffed in the covers So she waited til he came as he lie there naked Before she blew his head off, she told him she'd been faking all along, so long for everything you done wrong Here's a bullet, go to hell, cuz its where you belong Just another day in suburbia It's a beautiful day in suburbia Best not let it get the best of you Is it everything you thought it would be Just another day in suburbia Yeah this is how we're living in suburbia Best not let it get the best of you Is it everything you want it to be No one understands it, no one comprehends it Guess you had to be there, from the outside looking in So I put my Outkast record, turn up the volume cuz I'm all alone And scream away (yeaaaah...) Remember the cutest couple in the world He was the punk and she was daddy's little girl Graduation came and she wanted him to stay But he had bigger better dreams waiting out in LA. She cried and he cried as the plane flew away She never ever wanted it to end this way 2 years later, she reads in the news he'd gone on to be a big star but she never knew, cuz he changed up his name but his heart stayed the same, cuz every song he wrote, was about her, he claimed. But he never got to tell her cuz he died that year from all of the coke, and the pills, and the beer and the whole world cried, but just or one day...Cuz sooner or later, the pain goes away Just another day in suburbia It's a beautiful day in suburbia Best not let it get the best of you Is it everything you thought it would be Just another day in suburbia Yeah this is how we're living in suburbia Best not let it get the best of you Is it everything you want it to be |
