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      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   Hey, hey      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      Hot real-estate - rising stars   'get rich quick' seminars   soap opera magazines   40 thousand watt nativity scenes      Don't freak about the smoke alarm   Mom left the TV dinner on      We're rockin' the suburbs   From Family Feud to Chevy Chase   We're rockin' the suburbs   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      (William Shatner talking)      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 front   and turns the cricket noises on      Each night - yeah, yeah   we're rockin' the suburbs   yeah, yeah
