Suburban King

The alarm clock rings but you don't move

But the wife gets up and puts on her uniform

You hear her in the bathroom

Cause she's got that nagging cough

You put your head under the pillow

To forget you've been laid off

Suburban King

Suburban King

You had it printed on your van

Cause it had a pretty ring

Suburban King

The union man said you'd be recalled

But the company up and moved to Taiwan

You counted on the pension plan

But you were out of luck

The union says you only qualify

For twenty-five bucks

Suburban King

Suburban King

You had it printed on your van

Cause it had a pretty ring

Suburban King

Suburban King

Your American dream didn't mean a thing

Suburban King
