Suburbia
(From The Album "Malltopia")
Mr. Brown's a plastic surgeon And he drives a Ford Excursion And his wife is just as manicured as his lawn Breast enhancement, nose reduction Fifty pounds of liposuction Now I know where the cheerleaders go When the football games are gone Can't you see, you and me Living there, being free? Everyday is a beautiful day Because we all look and act the same way Don't make waves, stay the course Mom and dad will soon divorce We'll be separate but together In the artificial weather Of Suburbia Couldn't we be happy? In Suburbia Couldn't we be happy? Mrs. Green's a closet sadist But her golf clubs are the latest And her kids are Honor Students, so they say But her sons are both assailants And her daughter puffs inhalants But no one knows it in the PTA Can't you see, you and me Living there, being free? Everyday is a beautiful day Because we all look and act the same way Don't make waves, stay the course Mom and dad will soon divorce We'll be separate but together In the artificial weather Of Suburbia Couldn't we be happy? In Suburbia Couldn't we be happy? We could all be alcoholics, wouldn't that be cool? Sunday we could be good Catholics Monday we'll bring guns to school Isn't that what they mean When they talk about the American Dream? Everyday is a beautiful day Because we all look and act the same way Don't make waves, stay the course Mom and dad will soon divorce We'll be separate but together In the artificial weather Of Suburbia Couldn't we be happy? In Suburbia Couldn't we be happy? Couldn't we be happy there?
