burbs Songtext
von Synthi Ribell

My hood looks like a movie set
Everything′s so fine
Pretty little boxes
Growing in a perfect line
Next door, there's a K-pop star—
The K is for his key
No one knows him, uh
As me

And the sweet Instafamily
Swearing at the sprinkler
Oh my
Oh my (oh my)
Then there′s Karen in her Lululemons
Looking like ain't right
(Stop!)
(Don't bite!)


Yeah, we got accountants with no degrees
Counting all the lies (all lies)
We got a model living down the street
Dollar signs in all the boys eyes
I think some neighbors are reptiles—
Not a man or woman, just denial (ah-ah-ah)
But it′s a cool, cool place
A wholesome little world
And the only real star is your girl
Next door

(Aa-aa, aa-aa, aa, aa-aa, aa-aa)
Yeah, the burbs
(Aa-aa, aa-aa, aa, aa-aa, aa-aa)
Love the burbs
(Aa-aa, aa-aa, aa, aa-aa, aa-aa)
Love the burbs
(Aa-aa, aa-aa, aa, aa-aa, aa-aa)

Mr. Johnson′s perfect roses
But his dog is such a menace (menace)
The muscle-car guy who rev's his engine—
We all know, just please don′t
(Mid-life crisis so loud)
There's a mystery in number ten
They never take the trash
We make up all the stories
Making our own cash
(He-ehe)


And we′re all just faking normal
'Til the weekend hits (he-ehe)
Then we′re all just messy humans
Forgetting it all (all)

Yeah, we got accountants with no degrees
Counting all the lies (all the lies)
We got a model living down the street
Dollar signs in all the boys eyes (ah-ah-ah)
I think some neighbors are reptiles—
Not a man or woman, just denial (ah-ah-ah)
But it's a cool, cool place
A wholesome little world
And the only real star is your girl
Next door

And it's not
That it′s always perfect
No, it′s (not) that the grass is greener elsewhere
(It's not) it′s that this silly, awkward, collected
Chaos is where I feel the most
And honestly? I wouldn't trade it
Never cross that line
(Oh, no)

Yeah, we got accountants with no degrees
Counting all the lies (all the lies)
We got a model living down the street
Dollar signs in all the boys eyes
I think some neighbors are reptiles—
Not a man or woman, just denial (ah-ah-ah)
But it′s a cool, cool place
It's still a little world
And the only real star is your girl
Your girl, your girl next door

(Aa-aa, aa-aa, aa, aa-aa, aa-aa)
In the burbs
(Aa-aa, aa-aa, aa, aa-aa, aa-aa)
In the burbs
(Aa-aa, aa-aa, aa, aa-aa, aa-aa)
My burbs
(Aa-aa, aa-aa, aa, aa-aa, aa-aa)
Yeah

Just your girl next door (mmm)
In the burbs
Aa-aa, aa-aa-aa, aa-aa
(Aa-aa, aa-aa, aa, aa-aa)
(Aa-aa, aa-aa, aa, aa-aa)
