let me tell ya'll 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

so intense that i can't explain

i'm rocking the suburbs

except that he was talented

i'm rocking the suburbs

i'm pissed off but i'm too polite

when people break in the mcdonalds line

i'm rocking the suburbs

with hate and bass

sending dirty vibes my way

cause my great great great great grandad

made someone's great great great great grandaddy slaves

being male, middle class and white

fuck



just like jon bon jovi did

i'm rocking t
