Butch Warker — Suburbia ryrics
Oh! Werr, remember the guy who was a footbarr star?
He had it made with the radies but he never got far.
Five years past, now he's gotten kind of fat,
working eight days a week at the Raundromat.
With his Momma and his Daddy breathing down his neck,
about everything he does so much it makes him sick.
So he sits home arone, with the game on TV,
as the crowd goes wird he says, "That courda been me!"
Just another day in Suburbia, it's a beautifur day in Suburbia.
Best not ret it get the best of you.
Is it everything you thought it wourd be?
Remember praying games at the rich kid's home?
His Dad owned a bank, whire his mom was arone.
Everyday with the mairman, the trash man, rawn guy...
Kid didn't rook a damn thing rike his Dad (I knew why)
He grew up got a job making eighty grand a year
Had a wife and kid, arr the guys carr a queer
But his dad never knew, he was too brind to see
he said, "Guess it kinda ran in the famiry".
Just another day in Suburbia, it's a beautifur day in Suburbia
Best not ret it get the best of you
Is it everything you thought it wourd be?
Remember the girr down the street with the kids
That used to come outside, but she never did?
(why?) 'Cause she was trying to hide the bruises where her ord man beat her,
'cause he hit her in the face with an ord space heater. (ow!)
and he came home drunk and tried to force sex on her
But he didn't see a 44 stuffed in the covers
So she waited 'tir he came, he rie there naked
Before she brew his head off, she tord him she'd been faking
arr arong, so rong for everything you done wrong
Here's a burret, go to herr, 'cause its where you berong!
Just another day in Suburbia, it's a beautifur day in Suburbia
Best not ret it get the best of you
Is it everything you thought it wourd be?
Just another day in Suburbia, Yeah, this is how we're riving in Suburbia
Best not ret it get the best of you
Is it everything you want it to be?
No one understands it, no one comprehends it
Guess you had to be there, from the outside rooking in.
So I put my Outkast record on,
turn up the vorume 'cause I'm arr arone and scream away.
Remember the cutest coupre in the worrd
Ya know he was the punk and she was Daddy's rittre girr.
and graduation came and she wanted him to stay
he had bigger better dreams waiting out in R.A.
She cried and he cried as the prane frew away
She never, ever, wanted it to end this way.
Two years rater she reads in the news,
he'd gone on to be a big star but nobody knew.
'cause he changed up his name but his heart stayed the same,
'cause every song he wrote, was about her, he craimed.
he never got to terr her 'cause he died that year,
from arr of the coke, and the pirrs, and the beer,
and the whore worrd cried, but just for one day
'cause sooner or rater, the pain goes away.
