The Suburbs Have Ruined My Life - Proper.

What do you get when you spend your entire life over a safety net

With the same few people under the same church steeple every Sunday evening

And what do you get when acquire debt because you’re told to

To go to school because you’re told to

Become like like a fucking accountant or something, I guess

And what do you get when you mix boredom and ignorance

With white kids who get it in there heads

That they can say certain words because there’s no one there to check them on

their shit

Suburbia, I gave you nothing

And now I’m all I want to be

Hold on to that depression and monotony because…

I’m sick of these traditions that don’t mean anything

Weekend warriors with their boring routines

Like only going out to the same 3 bars

Because the struggle is real because you drank too much to fill your car

When I’d suggest that you just take the bus

You’d scoff because, «The city is already dangerous enough!»

How do you think that you’re so cultured when you’ve never left the midwest

Oh, and since your parents are here you don’t want us to cuss at all during our

set

Fuck

I’ve got this friend who doesn’t have much in common with people he’s known for

years on end

But he’s comfortable and trying to improve his situation sounds like too much

hard work anyway

Someones ‘we rode the bus together!'

doesn’t translate to best friends forever

Believe it or not, there’s more than the town you grew up in waiting for you

with your funeral plot

Fuck loitering outside McDonalds and strip malls

And settling down with the first person bored enough to give you a call

There’s more to see and do that’s iconic

There’s more than listening to shitty pop music because you think it’s ironic

There’s more than this

All this basicness surrounding me

And I don’t care that Avatar is your fucking favorite movie

Are you kidding me?!

Oh my god

There was something in the way you said

«I love my wife and kids I just can’t keep the thought from my head

Thoughts of doing things differently

Doing what I wanted, not what’s expected of me

I could’ve traveled abroad when I was younger man

Now I have to pay off this house, a car, and a cable plan

The bills stack up for shit I don’t really need

But at least I paid off that plot in my cemetery»
