Suburban Song

[Verse 1]
All the houses in a row
8 am it’s time to go
To take your SUV to the cubicle
Once in the office space
They’re looking for the next coffee break
For the lifestyle to do whatever it takes

[Pre-Chorus]
Well this used to be me ‘til she kicked me out on the street
A square peg that never seemed to fit
Now I’m in a Southie flat and I don’t think she’ll take me back
Her new man doesn’t act so different

[Chorus]
People like patterns and reliable routines
401K security and a big flat screen
2-car houses and a perfect lawn
Singin’ a suburban song

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I like to drive
By the house I once called mine
How can this collar keep me out?
And I know I don’t belong
And I guess I should have known
Just what her world was all about

[Pre-Chorus]
You know it’s never been my dream
To be part of a machine
But I still miss her sometimes

[Chorus]
People like patterns and reliable routines
401K security and a big flat screen
2-car houses and a perfect lawn
Singin’ a suburban song

[Pre-Chorus]
You know it’s never been my dream
To be part of a machine
But I still miss her sometimes

[Chorus]
People like patterns and reliable routines
401K security and a big flat screen
2-car houses and a perfect lawn
Singin’ a suburban, drinkin’ down my bourbon
Singin’ a suburban song
