The alarm clock rings but you don't move
   But the wife gets up and puts on her uniform
   You hear her in the bathroom
   Cause she's got that nagging cough
   You put your head under the pillow
   To forget you've been laid off
   Suburban King
   Suburban King
   You had it printed on your van
   Cause it had a pretty ring
   Suburban King
  
   The union man said you'd be recalled
   But the company up and moved to Taiwan
   You counted on the pension plan
   But you were out of luck
   The union says you only qualify
   For twenty-five bucks
  
   Suburban King
   Suburban King
   You had it printed on your van
   Cause it had a pretty ring
   Suburban King
   Suburban King
  
   Your American dream didn't mean a thing
   Suburban King
