Suburban Void by Andrew Thomases published on 2022-01-14T00:31:32Z A sardonic yet catchy look back at growing up in the suburbs in the 80s and 90s. Hints of Lou Reed, Cheap Trick, and The Replacements. Lyrics: VERSE ONE: Jennifer dresses for her sweet sixteen High school boys trying to look suave but mean Danny’s got a booze bar in his trunk Driving to the party just to get them all drunk VERSE TWO: Other guys hanging at the Circle K Wishing for some action to come their way Spent last weekend scopin’ at the mall Hours of scamming, with no luck at all. PRE-CHORUS: Looking back, It seems so . . . pathetic! Looking back, It seems so . . . pathetic! CHORUS: We were just livin’ in a suburban void We didn’t know all we could’ve enjoyed We were just livin’ in a suburban void That explains why we were oh so annoyed. VERSE THREE: Know no culture; got no class Just hanging around, sittin’, sittin’ on your ass Lord only knows, there’s nothing to do But watch videos and smoke some pot, too. PRE-CHORUS CHORUS VERSE FOUR: Catching a buzz on his parents’ fine rum Michael’s feeling pretty good, but acting really dumb He noticed that the bottle’s looking kinda low So he fills it up with water; hopes his parents don’t know PRE-CHORUS CHORUS BRIDGE VERSE FIVE: Jennifer undresses for her sweet sixteen Hoping to get lucky, oh what a scene She loaded up at Danny’s booze bar Now her boredom’s going to take her too far.
