	Oh! Well, remember the guy who was a football star?
	He had it made with the ladies but he never got far
	Five years past, now he's gotten kind of fat
	Working eight days a week at the
	Laundromat
	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 the game on
	TVAs the crowd goes wild he says, "That coulda been me!"
	Just another day in
	SuburbiaIt's a beautiful day in
	SuburbiaBest 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
	Everyday with the mailman, the trash man, lawn guy
	Kid didn't look a damn thing like his
	Dad(I knew why)
	He grew up got a job making eighty grand a year
	Had a wife and kid, all the guys call a
	QueerBut his dad never knew, he was too blind to see
	He said, “
	Guess it kinda ran in the family”
	Just another day in
	SuburbiaIt's a beautiful day in
	SuburbiaBest 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
	That used to come outside, but she never did?(Why?)'
	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
	And he came home drunk and tried to force sex on her
	But he didn't see a 44 stuffed in the covers
	So she waited 'til 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 its where you belong!
	Just another day in
	SuburbiaIt's a beautiful day in
	SuburbiaBest not let it get the best of you
	Is it everything you thought it would be?
	Just another day in
	SuburbiaYeah, this is how we're living in
	SuburbiaBest not let it get the best of you
	Is it everything you want it to be?
	No one understands it, no one comprehends it
	Guess you had to be there, from the outside looking in
	So I put my
	Outcast record on
	Turn up the volume ’cause
	I'm all alone and scream away, ohh!
	Remember the cutest couple in the world
	Ya know he was the punk and she was
	Daddy's little girl
	And graduation came and she wanted him to stay
	He had bigger better dreams waiting out in
	L.AShe cried and he cried as the plane flew away
	She never, ever, wanted it to end this way
	Two years later she reads 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'
	Cause every song he wrote, was about her, he claimed
	He never got to tell her 'cause 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'
	Cause sooner or later
	The pain goes away
	Just another day in
	SuburbiaIt's a beautiful day in
	SuburbiaBest not let it get the best of you
	Is it everything you thought it would be?
	Just another day in
	SuburbiaYeah, this is how we're living in
	SuburbiaBest not let it get the best of you
	Is it everything you want it to be?
	Just another day
	Just another day
	Just another day...
