Suburbia
(to the tune of "Tobacco Road")
2006
You were born - in a clinic;
You grew up spoiled and you learned to be a cynic;
You wanna run away - to Serbia;
And say goodbye to Su-bur-bi-a....
You drink a little - you smoke a lot;
You think you're really quite a gangsta but you're not;
You're over-educated, middle-class, and white;
Never gonna be a pimp - but that's all right--
'Cause it's home, the only life you've ever known;
And you belong just where you are ---
Suburbia!
You gotta leave - and get a job;
Your Mom and Dad ain't gonna take care of no slob;
Buy a house, mow the lawn, and fix the drain,
Raise your children on Wisteria Lane...
But then again - maybe not -
Sell your house and tour the World in a yacht;
Have adventures from Shanghai to Shangri-la;
And then retire to Su-bur-bi-a....
'Cause it's home, the only life you've ever known;
You despise it 'cause it's boring, but every morning --
it's still your home!
