He's a patriot and a sports fan He's a real American Supports the troops with a magnet on his car He sends his kids to college, so one day they'll go far He goes to church every sunday To worship his whole god of money His family is blessed with material wealth And he just wants to kill himself Death in suburbia under blue skies The grass is always greener on the otherside Death in suburbia under blue skies The grass is always greener on the otherside He loves his country, he loves his wife He's been saving money his whole life His lovely daughter is ten years old She believes in everything she's been sold She studies hard to pass the test So she can fit in with all the rest Popularity can be exhausting, but god she tries But still people don't always like her and so she cries She swallows a handful of pills and she dies Death in suburbia under blue skies The grass is always greener on the otherside So proud of his only son fighting for peace with a gun Defending the American way and the honor of pride He backs the cause 'til it's his son who has died
