Butch Walker - Suburbia

FUCKING TELL ME BUTCH WALKER CANT WRITE A SONG.. FUCK YEAH!#%%#! This song owns you.. my interpretation

Well remember the guy who was the football star
He had it made with the ladies but he never got far
Five years past, now he's gotten kinda fat
working 8 days a week at the laundramat
with his momma and his daddy breathing down his neck
about everything he does so much it makes him sick
so he sits home alone with a game on TV
as the crowd goes wild, he says why couldnt it be me

Chorus:
just another day in suburbia
its a beautiful day in suburbia
best not let it get the best of you
is it everything you thought it would be?

remember playing games at the rich kids home
his dad owns a bank while his mom was a loan
everyday with the mail man, the trash man, lawn guy
kid didnt look a damn thing like his dad
(i wonder why)
he grew up got a job making 80 grand a year
had a wife a kid all the guys called him queer
but his dad never knew.. he was too blind to see
he said "i guess it kinda ran in the family"

repeat chorus...

remember the girl down the street with the kids
that used to come outside but she never did
coz she was trying to hide the bruises
where her old man beat her coz he hit her in the face with the old space heater
come home drunk and try to force sex on her
but he didnt see the 44 stuffed in the covers
so she waited til he came, he lied there naked
before she blew his head off.. she told him she'd been fakin
all along, so long.. for everything youve done wrong.. heres a bullet go to hell.. 
coz its where you belong

repeat chorus...

no one understands it
no one comprehends it
guess you had to be there from the outside looking in
so i put my outkast record on and turned up the volume coz i'm all alone
and i scream away

remember the cutest couple in the world
you know he was a punk and she was daddies little girl
when graduation came and she wanted him to stay
he had bigger better dreams waiting out in LA
she cried and he cried as the plane flew away
she never ever wanted it to end this way
2 years later she read 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
coz every song he wrote was about her he claimed
he never got to tell her coz he died that year from all of the coke and the pills and the beer
and the whole world cried.. but just for one day
coz sooner or later.. the pain goes away...

repeat chorus...
