So you grew up in a town where everybody's all the same. 
Like a city full of zombies going by the same name. 
Saying "Eat this", "Wear that,” Think ya know just where it's at, 
when everybody's just alike, Now tell me how you deal with that! 
This much is true, So here's the finger let me say it. 

There's the right way, then there's my way 
there's a highway, if you don't like it you can take it. 
So just talk away, I don't hear a word you say. 
I'll be my way. If you don't like it you can take it. 

You got the ultimate song, but you're fuckin' up the words 
and you're falling from the bridge that goes straight into the verse. 
They're sayin' "Do this", "Do that", tell ya how to wear your hat. 
If everyone was just alike I don't think I could deal with that.
This much is true, So can ya hear me as I'm saying, .

There's the right way, then there's my way, 
there's a highway, if you don't like it you can take it. 
So just talk away, I don't hear a word you say.
I'll be my way. If you don't like it you can take it.

I don't want to be the one who does everything like I'm told to. [repeat 4]

There's the right way, then there's my way, there's a highway, [repeat 2]

if you don't like it you can take it. 
So just talk away, I don't hear a word you say. 
I'll be my way. If you don't like it you can take it.

There's the right way, then there's my way, 
there's a highway, if you don't like it you can take it. 
So just talk away, I don't hear a word you say. 
I'll be my way. If you don't like it you can take it.

I don't want to be the one who does everything like I'm told to. [repeat 3]

Oh! Well, remember the guy who was a football star?
He had it made with the ladies but he never got far.
Five years past, now he's gotten kind of fat, 
working eight days a week at the Laundromat. 
With his Momma and his Daddy breathing down his neck, 
about everything he does so much it makes him sick. 
So he sits home alone, with the game on TV, 
as the crowd goes wild he says, "That coulda been me!"

Just another day in Suburbia, it's a beautiful day in Suburbia.
Best not let it get the best of you.
Is it everything you thought it would be?

Remember playing games at the rich kid's home?
His Dad owned a bank, while his mom was alone.
Everyday with the mailman, the trash man, lawn guy...
Kid didn't look a damn thing like his Dad [I knew why]
He grew up got a job making eighty grand a year
Had a wife and kid, all the guys call a queer
But his dad never knew, he was too blind to see
he said, “Guess it kinda ran in the family”.

Just another day in Suburbia, it's a beautiful day in Suburbia
Best not let it get the best of you
Is it everything you thought it would be?

Remember the girl down the street with the kids
That used to come outside, but she never did?
[why?]'Cause she was trying to hide the bruises where her old man beat her, 
'cause he hit her in the face with an old space heater. [ow!]
and he came home drunk and tried to force sex on her
But he didn't see a 44 stuffed in the covers
So she waited 'til he came, he lie there naked
Before she blew his head off, she told him she'd been faking 
all along, so long for everything you done wrong
Here's a bullet, go to hell, 'cause its where you belong!

Just another day in Suburbia, it's a beautiful day in Suburbia
Best not let it get the best of you
Is it everything you thought it would be?
Just another day in Suburbia, Yeah, this is how we're living in Suburbia
Best not let it get the best of you
Is it everything you want it to be?

No one understands it, no one comprehends it
Guess you had to be there, from the outside looking in.
So I put my Outkast record on, 
turn up the volume ’cause I'm all alone and scream away.

Remember the cutest couple in the world
Ya know he was the punk and she was Daddy's little girl.
and graduation came and she wanted him to stay
he had bigger better dreams waiting out in L.A.
She cried and he cried as the plane flew away
She never, ever, wanted it to end this way.
Two years later she reads in the news, 
he'd gone on to be a big star but nobody knew.
'cause he changed up his name but his heart stayed the same, 
'cause every song he wrote, was about her, he claimed. 
he never got to tell her 'cause he died that year, 
from all of the coke, and the pills, and the beer, 
and the whole world cried, but just for one day 
'cause sooner or later, the pain goes away.

Just another day in Suburbia, it's a beautiful day in Suburbia
Best not let it get the best of you
Is it everything you thought it would be?
Just another day in Suburbia, Yeah, this is how we're living in Suburbia
Best not let it get the best of you
Is it everything you want it to be?

Just another day [repeat 6]

Partied at a house 'til four, 
came out from a closet door, makeup all over my face. 
We just do what people do, how was I to know that you 
were gonna turn around and say, 
"Somethin's not right", somethin' that night.

Since you gave in, I gave out.
I put in, you put out.
and you screamed and I shouted.
Now we're both in lots'a trouble.
You gave in, I gave out
I put in, you put out.
And now somethin' about it says
we're both in lots'a trouble.
Both in lots'a trouble, yeah yeah.

No one knows about the mess we got ourselves into, I guess, 
responsibility slapped my face.
and how I'll never look at you, without being a part of you.
I know you're scared of what we gotta face.
But I'll hold you tight, and be your nightlight.

Cause you gave in, I gave out. [repeat 2]
I put in, you put out.
And you screamed and I shouted
now we're both in lots'a trouble.
You gave in, I gave out
I put in, you put out
And now something' about it says
we're both in lots'a trouble
Both in lots'a trouble, 
Both in lots'a trouble, 
yeah yeah.

She drives a black Iroc with hot pink leather.
Got a good butt, but can't remember whether
she's a good girl or she's bad, or count the sex she's had.
Comes home late with grocery sacks 
and brothers in his hat, doin' Michael Jackson.
Doesn't know her dad, since he dropped her on her head.
and if there's one thing I can say, is she takes all my breath away.

She doesn't know my name.
She doesn't know her name.
Every time that I call, she can't remember at all.
and that's the last I fall for Alicia 

She got a summer job at the mall in town.
Sellin' shiny clothes to the bands in town,
who are trying to be so cool, 
and they always make her drool.
Takes all I have to say “hey”
when she's cleaning out the manic, panic, hair dye trays,
and I can always bet, she'll ask me if we've met.

If there's one thing I can say, [one thing I can say] 
every time that she walks away,
She doesn't know my name.
She doesn't know her name.
Every time that I call, she can't remember at all,
and that's the last I fall for Alicia [Alicia]Amnesia [Amnesia]

Every time that I call, she can't remember at all,
and that's the last I fall for you! Alicia 
Amnesia.

Can you please, remind me how you feel?
This emptiness is real, I can't bear the thought of it.
and please, remind me how to smile, I lost track after awhile.
Is happiness so hard to get?

Is it me, or is this over?
As I got sober, I watched you fade away.
Is it me, or is this ending?
As I was pretending, I watched you fade away.

I didn't know, that time could move so slow, 
when you've got nowhere to go, the silence is so deafening.
Waking up, on the wrong side of your mind.
How could I have been so blind, to see I'm losing everything?

Is it me, or is this over?
As I got sober, I watched you fade away.
Is it me, or is this ending?
As I was pretending, I watched you fade away.

Oh, Sooner or later, we gotta stop this elevator.
You go your way and I'll go mine, I'm sure that I'll be fine.

Now is it me, or is this over?
As I got sober, I watched you fade away.
Is it me, or is this ending?
As I was pretending, I watched you fade away.
Sober, as I got sober.
As I got sober, I watched you fade, I watched you fade.

I walk around in circles, just like a dog with vertigo,
As I go insane. 
The sun shines all around me, on the world, and everybody with somebody, 
while I'm in the rain.

'Cause it's you that can break me and keep me on my back.
'Cause it's you that can save me from falling into the black.

The streetlights flash in tempo with my heart that's poundin' although I, 
haven't had a heart for days.
If I could just be honest, get my feelings off my chest, and on your mind 
I could find the way.

'Cause it's you that can break me and keep me on my back.
'Cause it's you that can save me from falling into the black.
Hold me and tell me that everything's gonna be all right.
And I'll tell you that everything's gonna be alright.

'Cause it's you that can break me and keep me on my back.
'Cause it's you that can save me from falling into the black.
you that can break me and keep me on my back.
'Cause it's you that can save me from falling into the black.
The black, [Hold me and tell me that everything's gonna be all right.] 
oh, fall into the black.

So you had a lot of friends, big black Benz,
Rockin' like "Dokken" til the party ends.
Pink champagne, can't complain, everyone's there for you.
Messed up hair, messed up nose, 
Cocaine habit that no one knows about.
Even thought the lies get told, everybody knows the truth.

Can ya get down?
I don't wanna be around,
When you come down.
Get your feet back on the ground.
Can ya get down?
You ain't acting like you're suppose to.
When you fall down, will it even make a sound.

'Cause you're a boom batter and your wallet's getting fatter, fatter.
Livin' for yourself thinkin' no one else will even matter
Skeezin' and you sneezing, your allergic to the normal crowd, 
I heard you were from Cartersville, [Oh my God, don't say that too loud!]
So afraid that they're gonna know, that you're gonna show that you're normal. 
Normal? [normal!]
Shit I'd better fight, overdose, date a model I suppose, everything'll be alright.

Can ya get down, 
I don't wanna be around when you come down, 
Get your feet back on the ground
can ya get down.
You ain't acting like you're s'posed to. 
When you fall down , 
will it even make a sound?

Can you get down?
I don't wanna be around
When you come down.
Get your feet back on the ground.
Can ya get down
You ain't acting like you're suppose to
When you fall down, will it even make a sound?

Keep it down
[repeat x 2] I don't wanna be around
When you come down
Get your feet back on the ground.
Can ya get down
You ain't acting like you're suppose to [s'posed to]
Will it even make a sound?

I was set up from the get-up, and I drove the wrong way home.
Into your eyes of blue, yeah I could barely take my mind off you.
So you set it, then you let it, slowly take the life from you.
Getting so high from the fumes, of a burned out so-called you.

And I feel so far away from close to you and maybe...
We could try to find a way to walk right through,
the plastic wall between my heart and you.

You were faking, I'd mistaken, you for someone I once knew.
Into the ring I flew, like a wrestler falls on cue.
Can you show me? Please show me. why it all went down in flames.
Was it 'cause I made it through, and you were just too fucked up to?

And I feel so far away from close to you, and maybe...
We could finally find a way to walk right through,
the plastic wall between my heart and you.

Head is stinging, phone is ringing
Words just burnin' right on my tongue
Please put up the magazine,
I'm burning up like gasoline,
I'm all alone on the phone,
So baby won't you please pick up?

[won't you please pick up?]

I was set up, from the get-up
won't you please pick up the phone?

I feel so far away from close to you, and baby
All I wanted was to see you walk right through
and I feel so far away from close to you and baby
we can finally find a way to walk right through,
the plastic wall between my heart and..
between my heart and you.

Little Jewish princess, never recognized.
Replaced the Star of David for the ones in your eyes.
So you popped a vicodine and ran away from everyone,
and everything you thought you knew.

Hangin' by the pool with the leisure dudes,
who never have a job, but they got the attitudes,
the clothes, and the shoes, and a disease or two, 
and every head turns on cue.

When she flies like a ballerina babe, 
strung up so high. Everybody have you seen her?
The side no one knows, she shows on video.
She's a San Fernando sex star and she's fine.
Telephone screaming on the bathroom floor,
Momma tryin' to call ya since July 4.
Erase the message along with the life 
of everything ya knew before.

Life is pretty good with your wood grain walls,
lime green carpet, and your meth lab stall.
Mattress full of money and five locks on the door,
as she falls to the floor.

From tryin' to fly, like a ballerina babe 
strung up so high, everybody have you seen her?
The side no one knows, she screams on video.
She's a San Fernando sex star and she's fine.

East coast transplant now in California
Can ya feel the side effects of finally leaving Georgia?
Nothing you can do about it, Daddy tried to warn ya.
Allowance cut off, blue jean cutoffs,
Feelin' like a cut out paper whore.

When she flies like a ballerina babe,
strung out so high, everybody have you seen her?
the side no one knows, she screams on video
She's San Fernando sex star.

Where are you? 
Now, Where are you? 
Now, Where are you?
San Fernando sex star?

Now, Where are you?
San Fernando sex star?

All alone in your dirty chair, washin' all your dirty hair,
and you're wonderin' how long 'til they come for you.
Watch the lines form on your face and down the block all the people chase
just what you were after, before this happened to you.

And if I could be the chains, I'd fall from you and let you fly to the angels
If I could be your pain I'd run from you, so far away.
If I could turn the time back just one day it might just be enough to say
All the things I never said to you.

Make the plans to fall in place, only to fall behind in the race 
and you can't keep up and I know that it pisses you off.
And your roller coaster climbs the hill, up and down, it sure does feel 
a bit too much. Are you ready to get off?

If I could be the chains I'd fall from you and let you fly like an angel.
If I could be the pain I'd run from you, so far away.
If I could turn the time back just one day, It might just be enough to say,
all the things I've never said to you.[to you]

And what you don't know won't hurt you.
What you don't show will kill you.
What you don't know won't hurt you.
What you don't show will kill you 

And what you don't know won't hurt you.
What you won't show will kill you.
What you don't know wont' hurt you at all.
And if I could be the chains I'd fall from you and let you fly like an angel
If I could be the pain, I'd run from you so far away.
If I could turn the time back just one day, It might just be enough to say,
all the things I never said to you. [to you]

Never said to you.
[What you don't know won't hurt you]
[What you don't show will kill you]
[What you don't know won't hurt you]
No, No, No, [what you don't show will kill you]
Never said to you, 
to you,
to you.

You got lost, For a while.
You've been trying to find a smile.
You got stood up, then you fell down, 
and when you needed , there was no one 'round.
You loved the previews and hate the movie.
You scream at the screen, "Something move me!"
before you start to fade away.

Give me all your fear, Throw it all away.
and think about the good things, no matter what they say, 
we'll take tomorrow baby, yeah, 
one day at a time.

You just stare into space, 
you found love but it got erased, 
you're on the road with all the stoplights, 
and you're too afraid to turn the wrong from right. 
You ate your soul and it made ya fat, 
starve yourself from everything else that makes you completely full.
So give me all your fear, throw it all away. 
Think about the good things, no matter what they say. 
We'll take tomorrow baby, yeah, 
one day at a time.

So you run, so you hide, 
and you watched as they die, 
they all fell, you could fall too, 
or you could sew your wings and try to fly right through.

Give me all your fear, throw it all away. 
Think about the good things, no matter what they say. 
We'll take tomorrow baby, yeah, 
One day at a time.
One day at a time.
