Suburbia

\rOh! Well, Remember The Guy Who Was A Football Star?
\rHe Had It Made With The Ladies But He Never Got Far.
\rFive Years Past, Now He's Gotten Kind Of Fat,
\rWorking Eight Days A Week At The Laundromat.
\rWith His Momma And His Daddy Breathing Down His Neck,
\rAbout Everything He Does So Much It Makes Him Sick.
\rSo He Sits Home Alone, With The Game On Tv,
\rAs The Crowd Goes Wild He Says, "that Coulda Been Me!"

\rJust Another Day In Suburbia, It's A Beautiful Day In Suburbia.
\rBest Not Let It Get The Best Of You.
\rIs It Everything You Thought It Would Be?

\rRemember Playing Games At The Rich Kid's Home?
\rHis Dad Owned A Bank, While His Mom Was Alone.
\rEveryday With The Mailman, The Trash Man, Lawn Guy...
\rKid Didn't Look A Damn Thing Like His Dad (i Knew Why)
\rHe Grew Up Got A Job Making Eighty Grand A Year
\rHad A Wife And Kid, All The Guys Call A Queer
\rBut His Dad Never Knew, He Was Too Blind To See
\rHe Said, "guess It Kinda Ran In The Family".

\rJust Another Day In Suburbia, It's A Beautiful Day In Suburbia
\rBest Not Let It Get The Best Of You
\rIs It Everything You Thought It Would Be?

\rRemember The Girl Down The Street With The Kids
\rThat Used To Come Outside, But She Never Did?
\r(why?) 'cause She Was Trying To Hide The Bruises Where Her Old Man Beat Her,
\r'cause He Hit Her In The Face With An Old Space Heater. (ow!)
\rAnd He Came Home Drunk And Tried To Force Sex On Her
\rBut He Didn't See A 44 Stuffed In The Covers
\rSo She Waited 'til He Came, He Lie There Naked
\rBefore She Blew His Head Off, She Told Him She'd Been Faking
\rAll Along, So Long For Everything You Done Wrong
\rHere's A Bullet, Go To Hell, 'cause Its Where You Belong!

\rJust Another Day In Suburbia, It's A Beautiful Day In Suburbia
\rBest Not Let It Get The Best Of You
\rIs It Everything You Thought It Would Be?
\rJust Another Day In Suburbia, Yeah, This Is How We're Living In Suburbia
\rBest Not Let It Get The Best Of You
\rIs It Everything You Want It To Be?

\rNo One Understands It, No One Comprehends It
\rGuess You Had To Be There, From The Outside Looking In.
\rSo I Put My Outkast Record On,
\rTurn Up The Volume 'cause I'm All Alone And Scream Away.

\rRemember The Cutest Couple In The World
\rYa Know He Was The Punk And She Was Daddy's Little Girl.
\rAnd Graduation Came And She Wanted Him To Stay
\rHe Had Bigger Better Dreams Waiting Out In L.a.
\rShe Cried And He Cried As The Plane Flew Away
\rShe Never, Ever, Wanted It To End This Way.
\rTwo Years Later She Reads In The News,
\rHe'd Gone On To Be A Big Star But Nobody Knew.
\r'cause He Changed Up His Name But His Heart Stayed The Same,
\r'cause Every Song He Wrote, Was About Her, He Claimed.
\rHe Never Got To Tell Her 'cause He Died That Year,
\rFrom All Of The Coke, And The Pills, And The Beer,
\rAnd The Whole World Cried, But Just For One Day
\r'cause Sooner Or Later, The Pain Goes Away.

\rJust Another Day In Suburbia, It's A Beautiful Day In Suburbia
