Lyrics Rockin' The Suburbs (over The Hedge Version Feat. William Shatner)

Let me tell y'all what it's like
Watching Idol on a friday night
In a house built safe and sound
On Indian burial ground
Sham-on!

We drive our cars everyday
To and from work both ways
So we make just enough to pay
To drive our cars to work each day
Hey hey

We're rocking the suburbs
Around the block just one more time
We're rocking the suburbs
Cause I can't tell which house is mine
We're rocking the suburbs
We part the shades and face the facts
They got better looking Fescue
Right across the cul-de-sac

Hot wheels take rising stars
Get rich quick seminars
Soap opera magazines
40,000 watt nativity scenes
Don't freak about the smoke alarm
Mom left the TV dinner on

We're rocking the suburbs
From daily news to Chevy Chase
We're rocking the suburbs
We numb the muscles in our face
We're rocking the suburbs
Feed the dog and mow the lawn
Watching mommy bounce the checks
While daddy juggles credit cards

Hi, sorry to bother you
The name's Bill, I live just across the street
Yeah that's right over there
No, no not that house, the one next to it
With the extra flower bed
Oh and here's all your papers form the last few days
They were just piling up on the driveway
Where the whole neighbourhood could see them
Not that that's a problem of course
But that and the grass being a little overgrown
Might give someone the impression you were out of town
And you wouldn't want that
I've got to be going shortly to a little class I've been attending, I've just
No, not pottery or anything like that it's a
An anger management class actually
And speaking of that very class, they've assigned me to
Find some common ground with people before you confront them
To avoid becoming violent
Y'know, well actually we do have a few things in common
Here could you take these papers, I'm getting my suit wet
And as I was saying we do live on the same cul-de-sac, that's common ground
And I believe we actually have the same house plan except in reverse
Your garage is on the left and mine's on the
No it wasn't me that dialled 911
And 6:31pm Wednesday, how about your son's noisy rock band
Anyway it's about your dog
And of course about our garbage
And some of the neighbours garbage cans
No I'm sorry it is your dog
Who's been strewing garbage around the block
And I have digital evidence complete with red eye reduction
Which I will email to you to prove that it is in fact your dog
I have to warn you that I have a black belt in karate
And I certainly don't mind using it if necessary
No, not on you, Ma'am, on your stinking dog

We're rocking the suburbs
Everything we need is here
We're rocking the suburbs
But it wasn't here last year
We're rocking the suburbs
You'll never know when we are gone
Because the timer lights come on
And turn the cricket noises on each night
Yeah, yeah, we're rocking the suburbs
Yeah, yeah, we're rocking the suburbs
