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      From the album "tropico"   Written by: niel geraldo & billy steinberg
