Lyrics:

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
sham on!

I got s*** running through my brain
so intense that I can't explain
all alone in my white boy pain
shake your booty while the band complains

I'm rockin' the suburbs
just like Michael Jackson did
I'm rockin' the suburbs
except that he was talented
I'm rockin' the suburbs
I take the checks and face the facts
that some producer with computers
fixes all my s***ty tracks

I'm pissed off, but I'm too polite
when people break in the McDonald's line
mom and dad you made me so uptight
I'm gonna cuss on the mic tonight
I don't know how much I can take
Girl, give me something I can break

I'm rockin' the suburbs
just like Quiet Riot did
I'm rockin' the suburbs
except that they were talented
I'm rockin' the suburbs
I take the checks and face the facts
that some producer with computers
fixes all my s***ty tracks

in a haze these days
I pull up to the stoplight
I can feel that something's not right
I can feel that someone's blasting me
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

it wasn't my idea,
it wasn't my idea,
it never was my idea ?
I just drove to the store
for some Preparation H

ya'll don't know what it's like
being male, middle class and white,
ya'll don't know what it's like
being male, middle class and white

ya'll don't know what it's like
being male, middle class and white,
ya'll don't know what it's like
being male, middle class and white

it gets me real pissed off
and it makes me wanna say,
it gets me real pissed off
and it makes me wanna say,
it gets me real pissed off
and it makes me wanna say,
"f***"!

just like Jon Bon Jovi did
I'm rockin' the suburbs
except that he was talented
I'm rockin' the suburbs
I take the checks and face the facts
that some producer with computers
fixes all my s***ty tracks these days

yeah, yeah
I'm rockin' the suburbs
yeah, yeah
I'm rockin' the suburbs
yeah, yeah

you'd better look out,
because I'm gonna say, "f***"
you'd better look out,
because I'm gonna say, "f***"

you'd better look out,
because I'm gonna say, "f***"
you'd better look out,
because I'm gonna say, "f***"
