SUBURBS 01:14
Let me tell you it's not shitty when you move out of the city Streets are safe and oh so quiet, house is cheap so had to buy it Wife and son can walk around with no used condoms on the ground I love love love living in the suburbs Here I thought that they would suck, but in fact they're cool as fuck No drunken assholes on my block, just dads like me who love to rock One room full of baby toys, one room full of no wave noise I love love love living in the suburbs Now
2.
CATS 04:22
Save this Save this carpet tonight It will It will be alright Take this Take this powder off me tonight Cats and cats and cats and cats Will those who scratch the floor speak up? Will those who tap the door speak up? Will those who wreck the floor speak up? Meow meow
3.
EXPECTATIONS 04:36
What's this pounding in my head? I don't know Will I ever get to bed? I don't know Do I deserve to be mislead? I don't know Don't remember what I said And now I'm feeling bad, is it 'cause I've always had - No expectations (?) Will I ever be content? I don't know Wondering where my life went. I don't know In these positions I've bent. I don't know I don't know what it all meant (Where it all went) The truth is just too sad, oh I know I'll always have No expectations You'll bat your eyes in hell

NEIGHBORS 03:52
Welcome to the neighborhood. It is fun and it is safe. Everyone just has one kid. Every kid is kind of lame. Where am I now? How did I get here? This was not the plan I must admit it feels so strange to be a suburban man with Neighbors, neighbors, neighbors bloody neighbors Neighbors, neighbors, I kick 'em to the curb Neighbors, neighbors, neighbors fucking neighbors Neighbors, neighbors, they get what they deserve Do you want to see my grill? I can barbecue all night, it's great! Maybe one day when you are sad you can come over and have a steak. Who is this man? Is this his wife? This must be their kid I don't understand my present life Look at what I did, I got On the block, in plain sight All around, on the left and the right La la la is how they go Way too fast and way too slow La la la is what they say Every hour of every day You know, the schools in this district are very diverse
5.
BILLS 03:46
I'm having a good time, my first one in weeks The baby's not crying, the baby he speaks He says "Thanks for the clothing, and thanks for the food, and thank you for making my life so good, dad." But then they come And then they're here And it's just no fun And I know it's clear I know I know because I'm paying the bills And I'm saying the bills There's no delaying the bills These bills that kill And I'm fucked.. It was just the first time of the month I can't even move my hands I'm tired They come They're here No fun It's clear I know I know because I'm paying the bills And I'm saying the bills There's no delaying the bills These bills that kill Pay 'em now When can I move my hands?
6.
NAPS 03:42
Baby want, baby need Baby get, baby greed Baby poo all over you The baby peed Baby make shake-shake-shake, oh yes indeed Wake up, wake up now Wake up, Daddy Daddy Daddy Daddy Baby sip, baby eat Baby shit, baby eat Baby puke all over you The baby seed Baby cry Why must I? Must I indeed... Wake up, wake up now Wake up, Daddy Daddy Daddy Daddy Baby get it all, then some Go the fuck to sleep! Go the fuck to sleep, honey
7.
BANKS 07:19
Here at the bank we say that we care Because we know you're going nowhere Oh we never give you slack whenever the hackers hack There's just giving up, there's no getting back Give up, give up To the back of the line... Here at the bank we don't care if you have rank Here at the bank if we ask you'll walk the plank Here at the bank we're the place your savings sank Here at the bank it would be nice if you gave thanks Here at the bank we promise to try We know we fail, we know we lie But don't make a stink, don't make a fuss What else can you do, there's only us You might think that we don't mind As we jerk you 'round and rob you blind But if you asked us, you would find You're right, so right To the back of the line Come give us thanks Here at the bank We need your thanks Here at the bank we have no clue And zero interest in what we do For every person who passes through We say fuck, fuck, fuck, "fuck you"
8.
TAXES 02:36
4 times a year I give my soul to a church I do not know Yet every year I do donate and they insist I am not late Though I have no income that could be labeled disposable They say that I have no say in the matter for they are "unopposable" Oh no I'm infected by quarterlies Come inject me with penalties The facts are plain to see These taxes are not for me (Jesus Christ it never ends...I wish I had wealthy friends) And I say fuck these taxes What have they done for me? Fuck these taxes Before they fuck me

KIDS 05:00
10.
CHORES 03:23
White dishes, you little bitches, oh how daddy wishes They'd put the kibbosh on the wash and have a pleasant nosh, then I can't do this, I can't do that I feed the dog, I walk the cat I scrub the floor, I fold the clothes And what the fuck am I doing I suppose? My chores! Chores Dirty diapers I can't do this, I can't do that I am too old, I am too fat I fed my son, I paid my wife But what the fuck am I doing with my life? My chores! Chores Every hour Every day Can't ahead Can't get away
11.
FANTASIES 04:11
You were for real when you said 'til death do us part You're totally ideal, and I say this with all of my heart But for everything you do there are some things you don't And try as I will, some things you won't So pretty please I'm on my knees And here I will stay Till you agrees to my fantasies And get me through another day I don't mean to be rude or to sound obsessed But you're kind of a prude and totally repressed But I'm here to help you, and you to so the same So for starters let me call you by a different name Try on something new, it doesn't matter what Try on someone new, a mother or a slut I wouldn't love you any less, might even love you more 'Cause I must confess sometimes I wish my wife was a whore Yeah, I wish my life had more I know this sounds offensive, perhaps even a little scary You might be feeling defensive and ask yourself "who did you marry?" 'Cause I wanna tell you what to do, and I wanna tell you what to wear And I wanna fuck the shit outta you before I take the kids to daycare So c'mon baby let's play
12.
GROCERIES 05:15
Shop shop and you don't stop So high that you can't buy Choose choose so you can't lose And I can't solve one thousand mysteries, no I can't They all run and hide, spin around while trapped inside my groceries One million items in a sack Every single one I must pack I was just there, now I'm back Full-on suburb attack! Browse browse 'cause you can now Pick pick and you get the stick Oh mommy's got the stick and no patience That train has left the station Coupons, I got the scoop on I'll tell you when the soup's on Ready. Heat. Serve. Then Eat. And I can't solve one thousand mysteries They bring this dad right to his aging knees I could go on and on with endless miseries They all run and hide, spin around while trapped inside my groceries
13.
SPOUSES 03:26
They cool ya when you're hot and heat ya when you're cold But before you know it they just think you're dumb and old Oh there was a time when you were thought of as gold But now you're just a eunuch and you do as you are told Spouses They sometimes say good morning but never wish you luck Yet they're always horny when you're bringing home the buck Still you're in the trenching, standing in the muck And seeing things her way because you do not give a fuck Spouses They used to find you funny and even kind of cute But your best trait was your money, now you can't afford a suit See certain people love you even if you're destitute Whoops I've said too much, you see, she says that I'm her mute Spouses
14.
PLUMBERS 02:31
They clean our shit, oh what a bummer They don't get vacations in the summer, but We keep them rich, they keep us dumber We be their bitch, they be our plumber Plumbers They could be lying, they could be faking They got us bent over the toilet they are snaking There's only one option there's never two And only one question when the answer is poo If things get desperate I'll offer up a hummer 'Cause when the shit hits the fan you gotta call the plumber Why? 'Cause why not? Who's the one who's in control? What's that doing in my bowl? What about the cash they stole? Why am I bleeding out of every hole?
15.
COMMUTES 05:00
Half hour, one hour, two hour three Takes forever to get where I don't wanna be And once I am on my way there I'll have become too exhausted to care The facts are clear and I can't refute Oh the problems ain't acute The problem is here and they are the root Commutes, commutes, commutes One dollar, two dollar, three dollar, eight Doesn't really matter I'll still be late Sitting or crouching, leaning or standing Every which way the whole things demanding Go get a Snickers, go ahead and bite one Get out your book now, Hey, go ahead and write one Break out your needle and thread, bust out your knitting 'Cause you'll never reach your destination, and I am not shitting Take your I-phone, go ahead and get it Let out that fart now, go ahead and let it It's a fight to the finish between them and me And how much worse than this possibly be?
16.
HOMES 02:47
My foundation's cracking, you can hear the creek My bones are lacking and all my pipes leak Splattered with graffiti, my walls need erasing You can walk all over me 'cause I need replacing I need a layer of fresh paint to become what I ain't My radiator's smoking yet frozen to the touch The heat is cranking but it don't do much I wouldn't crack the lid, the commode has toiled Don't touch the fridge, inside I'm all spoiled Send me home to a semi-home Where nothing works and I'm alone I scrimped and saved and now I own This old dog with bad bones Send me home It's not been wintered, it needs to be improved The floors have splintered, they must be removed All the windows shattered, all the doors broken Now it doesn't matter from my dream I've awoken Send me home
17.
DISHES 02:57
(Not) Once in a while Grab your plate by the hand Make sure that it understands You don't want to mean it But you have to clean it After you eat Rinse and repeat (Well I can't remember) It's always her concern that one day you will learn That one of her many wishes is that you do the dishes
18.
HOBBIES 00:49
19.
MEALS 04:25
When its early in the morning or when its late at night Even when it comes with warning it still don't feel quite right I prepare for the next three days, I'm aware of what the book might says And I don't care about the games I plays they're just Meals When the wife is feeling anxious, when my son is feeling ill When we're all feeling depressed, we have one need to fill I prepare for the next few weeks, I'm aware the tupperware And I don't care that I'm stuffing my cheeks, they're just Meals
