lyrics

THE SUBURBAN BEAST

Billboards hide the view from sight,

He was barrelling down the highway in the morning light,

He was laughing with his head thrown back,

Cause he got somethin’ other people lack.

Suburbanitise, he don’t wanna know, ‘You keep the dog and the house babe I got to go’.


00000

He was nearly 50 with his hair all gone

Then he got retrenched one Friday morning,

It could have bin the punchline to his life,

Driving down the highway with no mortgage, with no wife

Suburbanitise, he don’t wanna know, ‘You keep the dog and the house babe I got to go.’


00000
Here he comes the suburban beast,

Comin’ outta the sun, comin outta the east,

He’s had some liposuction, a nip and a tuck,

He got a pistol in his pocket and he don’t give a …

00000

Well he was driving for hours with the wind in his face,

Bein’ irresponsible, bein’ a disgrace,

But then he woke to the sound of the bell

He was dreaming of heaven, livin’ middle aged hell.
