Suburbia Revisited
By: Dennis Moller

Woken up, early this morning
By the sun coming in my bedroom door
Got out of my sheets, into my slippers
Got the paper and looked around

Chorus: Brand name
Brand new
Brand us all suburbanites
Middle class heroes
9 to 5 everyday
Crime rate zero
No bills to pay
Life is good

On the front page of the Leader
Blue Laws ban liquor in Jewel stores
There’s no hobos or TV dinners
Soccer moms can cook all day
Last I can remember there’s been no murders
What are we in Canada?
When the worst crime is being a teen driver
Cops in minivans patrol the streets

Chorus: Brand name
Brand new
Brand us all suburbanites
Middle class heroes
9 to 5 everyday
Crime rate zero
No bills to pay
Life is good

I see neighbors mowing lawns
Kids playing in the streets
No gangs, no violence
Only NASCAR dads
Nothing is bad,
except my sunburn
Am I dreaming? I think all day

Chorus: Brand name
Brand new
Brand us all suburbanites
Middle class heroes
9 to 5 everyday
Crime rate zero
No bills to pay
Life is good

It’s the classic TV day
problems go away
Hang out with Wally and the Beaver
Stop and look around
we’re too perfect a town
will it ever turn around?

Chorus: Brand name
Brand new
Brand us all suburbanites
Middle class heroes
9 to 5 everyday
Crime rate zero
No bills to pay
Life is good

Life is good with no bill collecters
No gangbangers or crack dealers
We live in this place, o so sheltered
Are we thankful? Or are we screwed?

Chorus: Brand name
Brand new
Brand us all suburbanites
Middle class heroes
9 to 5 everyday
Crime rate zero
No bills to pay
Life is good
