Rockin the suburbs

MY FAVORITE SONG
By bens folds
it started the phrase sham on

let me tell ya'll what it's like
being male, middle class and white
it's a bitch, if you don't believe
listen up to my new cd
sham on

i got shit running through my brain
so intense that i can't explain
all alone in my white boy pain
shake your booty while the band complains

i'm rocking the suburbs
just like michael jackson did
i'm rocking the suburbs
except that he was talented
i'm rocking the suburbs
i take the checks and face the facts
that some producer with computers
mixes all my shitty tracks

i'm pissed off but i'm too polite
when people break in the mcdonalds line
mom and dad you made me so uptight
i'm gonna cuss on the mic tonight
i don't know how much i can take
girl give me something i can break

i'm rocking the suburbs
just like quiet riot did
i'm rocking the suburbs
except that they were talented
i'm rocking the suburbs
i take the checks and face the facts
that some producer with computers
mixes all my shitty tracks

in a haze these days
i pull up to the stoplight
i can feel that something's not right
i can feel that someone's blasting me
with hate and bass
sending dirty vibes my way
cause my great great great great grandad
made someone's great great great great grandaddy slaves
it wasn't my idea
it wasn't my idea
it never was my idea
i just drove to the store
for some preparation h

ya'll don't know what it's like
being male, middle class and white
it gets me real pissed off and it makes me wanna say
fuck

just like jon bon jovi did
i'm rocking the suburbs
except that he was talented
i'm rocking the suburbs
i take the checks and face the facts
that some producer with computers
mixes all my shitty tracks these days
i'm rocking the suburbs
you'd better look out because i'm gonna say fuck

South Suburbs

The ghetto suburbs of Chicago with 708 area code. This is where a lot of the black people who left the South Side of Chicago moved to. There are some real gangsta and a lot of fake wanna be gangstas in this area. There are some bad areas such as Harvey, Riverdale, Cal City, The Heights and some nicer areas that are starting to turn ghetto such as Homewood-Flossmoor and the Rich Township area. Dwyane Wade, Keke Palmer, JuiceWrld, and Dee Dee Davis (the little girl from bernie mac) are from this area.

I was in the South Suburbs at Harold's Chicken and there was a robbery.

suburbs

A hellish place, where the annoyances of culture come to thrive. Monotony or race is only superceded by monotony of architecture and planning. The dwelling place of the white race - which gives birth to several otehr problems. Ignorance, boredom, and depression are all symptoms of living in the suburbs, which explains why moody rock music listened to by suburban white teenagers is so predominant; these teenagers are convinced that they want their lives to be over when in fact they live in extreme comfort, albeit banal comfort, and suffer from the belief that noone else shares in their "pain-" i.e. the pain of being made fun of in school for wearing all black and losing your girlfriend of two weeks. The urban life provides for daily excitements that prevent idiotic social subcultiures to establish that are often established in the suburbs. For example, the culture of "wiggas", predominant in every suburb, are only established because the youth who practice it are not kept in check by the daily realities of urban life, i.e., black people to show these "wiggas" how dumb they are acting. In other words, these people are bored. High school cliques do not exist in inner city schools, where I attended, due to the fact that there are much more important things to worry about living in the city rather than being a "jock", a "prep", a "nerd", or a "skater". In fact, all students were united in this urban community by the fact that our lives were struggles, i.e. having only one parent, another parent in jail, drugs, welfare, violence, etc. It was not lauded and celebrated as the pop culture it has become in the suburbs, where boredom has provided for inner city life to be exalted as a means to escape the suburban monotony.

I'm bored in the suburbs, let's go act like 50 Cent.

suburbs

The endless sprawl of identikit mass produced housing that surrounds most towns and cities in the western world. Lacking the rural tranquility of the countryside and the spirit, history and community of the inner cities they are designe to enduce a life numbing stupor into it's inhabitents to keep the 'prolls' under control. Also known as concrete deserts, they are the loneliest, most soul destroying and down right dull places on the face of the planet.

Whitchurch (Bristol UK), Enfield (London), Solihull (Birmingham), Cheedle (Manchester) etc etc etc

Rockin’ the Suburbs

When you’re high off a mixture of Adderall, Marijuana, and Alcohol. A typical, easily available mixture that is often taken by people living in US suburbs.

A: How are you feeling, man?

B: After my meds and this party, I’m rockin’ the suburbs, just like Quiet Riot did.

a mediocrity from the suburbs

a) a woman who is the exact opposite of a goddess from Athens who is also so-so in terms of her bedroom skills.

if your mother was a mediocrity from the suburbs and your father a lumberjack, even plastic surgery won't help you look like Leonardo diCaprio or Brad Pitt.
