Generate meaning
1
Oh! Well, remember the guy who was a football star?
2
He had it made with the ladies but he never got far
3
Five years past, now he's gotten kind of fat
4
Working eight days a week at the Laundromat
5
With his Momma and his Daddy breathing down his neck
6
About everything he does so much it makes him sick
7
So he sits home alone, with the game on TV
8
As the crowd goes wild he says, "That coulda been me!"
9
Just another day in Suburbia
10
It's a beautiful day in Suburbia
11
Best not let it get the best of you
12
Is it everything you thought it would be?
13
Remember playing games at the rich kid's home?
14
His Dad owned a bank, while his mom was alone
15
Everyday with the mailman, the trash man, lawn guy
16
Kid didn't look a damn thing like his Dad
17
(I knew why)
18
He grew up got a job making eighty grand a year
19
Had a wife and kid, all the guys call a Queer
20
But his dad never knew, he was too blind to see
21
He said, ‽Guess it kinda ran in the familyâ€
22
Just another day in Suburbia
23
It's a beautiful day in Suburbia
24
Best not let it get the best of you
25
Is it everything you thought it would be?
26
Remember the girl down the street with the kids
27
That used to come outside, but she never did?
28
(Why?)
29
'Cause she was trying to hide the bruises where her old man beat her
30
'Cause he hit her in the face with an old space heater
31
And he came home drunk and tried to force sex on her
32
But he didn't see a 44 stuffed in the covers
33
So she waited 'til he came, he lie there naked
34
Before she blew his head off
35
She told him she'd been faking
36
All along, so long for everything
37
You done wrong
38
Here's a bullet, go to hell
39
'Cause its where you belong!
40
Just another day in Suburbia
41
It's a beautiful day in Suburbia
42
Best not let it get the best of you
43
Is it everything you thought it would be?
44
Just another day in Suburbia
45
Yeah, this is how we're living in Suburbia
46
Best not let it get the best of you
47
Is it everything you want it to be?
48
No one understands it, no one comprehends it
49
Guess you had to be there, from the outside looking in
50
So I put my Outcast record on
51
Turn up the volume 'cause I'm all alone and scream away, ohh!
52
Remember the cutest couple in the world
53
Ya know he was the punk and she was Daddy's little girl
54
And graduation came and she wanted him to stay
55
He had bigger better dreams waiting out in L.A
56
She cried and he cried as the plane flew away
57
She never, ever, wanted it to end this way
58
Two years later she reads in the news
59
He'd gone on to be a big star but nobody knew
60
'Cause he changed up his name but his heart stayed the same
61
'Cause every song he wrote, was about her, he claimed
62
He never got to tell her 'cause he died that year
63
From all of the coke, and the pills, and the beer
64
And the whole world cried
65
But just for one day
66
'Cause sooner or later
67
The pain goes away
68
Just another day in Suburbia
69
It's a beautiful day in Suburbia
70
Best not let it get the best of you
71
Is it everything you thought it would be?
72
Just another day in Suburbia
73
Yeah, this is how we're living in Suburbia
74
Best not let it get the best of you
75
Is it everything you want it to be?
76
Just another day
77
Just another day
78
Just another day
