Lyrics

Well, remember the guy he was a football star
He had it made with the ladies, but he never got far
'Cause five years past, now, he's gotten kinda fat
Working eight days a week at the laundromat
With his mama and his daddy breathing down his neck
About everything he does so much, it makes him sick
So he sits home alone, with the game on TV
And as the crowd goes wild, he says "that coulda been me"
Just another day in suburbia
It's 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 kid's home
His dad owned a bank while his mom was alone
And everyday with the mailman, the trash man, the lawn guy
Kid didn't look a damn thing like his dad
He grew up, got a job, making 80 grand a year
He had a wife and 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"
Just another day in suburbia
It's a beautiful day in suburbia
Best not let it get the best of you
Is it everything you thought it would be?
Remember the girl down the street with the kids
Who used to come outside, but she never did
'Cause she was trying to hide the bruises where her old man beat her
'Cause he hit her in the face with an old space heater
He came home drunk and tried to force sex on her
But he didn't see the .44 stuffed in the covers
So she waited 'till he came, he lie there naked
Before she blew his head off, she told him she'd been faking all along
"So long for everything you done wrong
Here's a bullet, go to hell, 'cause it's where you belong"
Just another day in suburbia
It's a beautiful day in suburbia
Best not let it get the best of you
Is it everything you thought it would be?
Just another day in suburbia
Yeah, this is how we're livin' in suburbia
Best not let it get the best of you
Is it everything you want it would be?
No one understands it
No one comprehends it
Guess you had to be there from the outside looking in
So I put my Marvelous 3 record on
And I turn up the volume 'cause I'm all alone
And scream away
Remember the cutest couple in the world?
You know he was a punk and she was daddy's little girl
When the divorce papers came, he wanted her to stay
But she had bigger, better dreams
And they weren't in L.A
He cried and he cried as the plane flew away
She never ever meant for it to end this way
But two years later he reads in the news
She'd gone on to be a big star, but nobody knew
'Cause she changed up her name
While her heart stayed the same
And not a single song she wrote was about him, she claimed
And he never got to tell her, that his dream died that year
When she walked away from all of the lies and the fear
And the whole world cried, but just for one day
'Cause sooner or later, the pain goes away
Just another day in suburbia
It's a beautiful day in suburbia
Best not let it get the best of you
Is it everything you thought it would be?
Just another day in suburbia
Yeah, this is how we're livin' in suburbia
Best not let it get the best of you
Is it everything you want it would be?
Just another day, just another day
Just another day, just another day in suburbia
