Текст песни Rockin' the Suburbs (Ben Folds) с переводом

Let me tell y’all what it’s like

Watching Idol on a Friday night

In a house built safe and sound

On Indian burial grounds

Sham on

We drive our cars every day

To and from work both ways

So we make just enough to pay

To drive our cars to work each day

Hey, hey

We’re rockin' the suburbs

Around the block just one more time

We’re rockin' the suburbs

'Cause I can’t tell which house is mine

We’re rockin' the suburbs

We part the shades and face the facts

They’ve got better-lookin' fescue

Right across the cul-de-sac

Hot real-estate rising stars

Get-rich-quick seminars

Soap opera magazines

Forty-thousand-watt nativity scenes

Don’t freak about the smoke alarm

Mom left the TV dinner on

We’re rockin' the suburbs

From Family Feuds to Chevy Chase

We’re rockin' the suburbs

Numb the muscles in our face

We’re rockin' the suburbs

We feed the dog and mow the lawn

Watching Mommy bounce the checks

While Daddy juggles credit cards

«Hi! Sorry to bother you. The name’s Bill; I live just across the street.

Yeah, that’s right just over there — no, no. Not that house, The one next to

it with the extra flower bed?

Oh, and here’s all your papers from the last few days. They were just piling up

on the driveway where the whole neighborhood could see them. Not that that’s a

problem, of course, but that and the grass being a little overgrown might give

someone the impression you were out of town, and you wouldn’t want that!

I’ve got to be going shortly to a little class I’ve been attending I just…

Er, no no no no, not pottery or anything like that… it’s, uh,

an anger management class actually. And speaking of that very class they’ve

been advising I find some common ground with people before you confront them to

avoid becoming violent, y’know? Well, actually, we do have a few things in

common. Here — could you take these papers? They’re getting my suit wet.

And, as I was saying, we do live on the same cul-de-sac; that’s common ground.

And I believe we actually have the same house plan, except the reverse.

Your garage is on the left and mine’s on the — No! It wasn’t me that dialed

911 at 6:31 p.m. Wednesday about your son’s noisy rock band. Anyway,

it’s about your dog, and of course about our garbage, and some of the

neighbors' garbage cans… No, I’m sorry, it IS your dog who’s been strewing

garbage around the block, and I have digital evidence — complete with red-eye

reduction — which I will email to you to prove that it is, in fact, your dog.

Now, I have to warn you that I have a black-belt in karate too,

and I certainly don’t mind using it if necessary. No, not on you ma’am.

on your stinking dog!»

We’re rockin' the suburbs

Everything we need is here

We’re rockin' the suburbs

But it wasn’t here last year

We’re rockin' the suburbs

You’ll never know when we are gone

Because the timer lights the front

And turns the cricket noises on

Each night

Yeah, yeah

We’re rockin' the suburbs

Yeah, yeah

We’re rockin' the suburbs
