The alarm clock rings but you don't move

But the wife gets up and puts on her uniform

You hear her in the bathroom 'cause she's got that nagging cough

You put your head under the pillow to forget you've been laid off



Suburban King, Suburban King

You had it printed on your van 'cause it had a pretty ring, Suburban King



The union man said you would be recalled

But the company up and moved to Taiwan

You counted on the Pension Plan, but you were outta luck

The union says you only qualify for twenty-five bucks



Suburban King, Suburban King

You had it printed on your van 'cause it had a pretty ring

Suburban King, Suburban King

Your American Dream didn't mean a thing, Suburban King
